Rights Lab, University of Nottingham

The Rights Lab conducted qualitative research on effective, evidence-based practices in commercial sexual exploitation (CSE) protection areas of repatriation, rehabilitation, and reintegration in Bangladesh and India. Rights Lab consolidated good practices on victim care policies and procedures to develop reference materials for service providers. The study involved semi-structured interviews with representatives of NGOs and United Nations (UN) agencies in India and Bangladesh. The study also included a literature review, and analysis of legislative and policy frameworks concerning rehabilitation and reintegration CSE survivors in both countries.
