Sensitization training on human trafficking
(3 April 2025)
On 3rd April 2025, the Department of Employment Supervision Management of the Ministry of National Economy held a sensitization training on human trafficking for labour inspectors of the capital and counties. The sensitization training was attended by nearly 40 labour inspectors. The aim of the training was to prepare the labour inspectors to identify victims of labour exploitation.
During the training, Dr. Szandra Windt, a senior researcher of the National Institute of Criminology, gave presentations on the criminological characteristics of human trafficking and on the INVERT project, Katalin Kopf, head of the Opportunity for Families 2005 Foundation, on practical experiences with victims of human trafficking, and Ildikó Kelemen, a staff member of the Győr-Moson-Sopron County Government Office, gave a presentation on an instructive legal case.

THE AIM OF THIS TRAINING MATERIAL
“Trafficking in Human Beings is a very complex phenomenon. Forced labour, labour exploitation, servant, slave are the different definition of that phenomenon which is in the focus of this training material. In this document we use these different expressions as a synonym knowing that they have different meaning. Here, we summarise the currently available knowledge on labour exploitation, international, European, Italian and Hungarian statistics and experiences, in order to inform and expand the knowledge of law enforcement and sensitise and prepare them to talk to victims and introduce them to the INVERT Suite."

The Training (17 October 2024)
Brief summary of the Training session of INVERT
Within the framework of the international project Identifying compaNies and Victims in the Exploitation phase to disRupt the financial business model of adult and child labour Trafficking (INVERT), awarded by the European Union Internal Security Fund programme, we organised a training for nearly 50 law enforcement officers on 17 October 2024.
During the event, police officers, prosecutors and labour inspectorates worked in small groups to develop posters on a specific theme and to process a case.
The training provided the participants with an opportunity to get away from their daily work for half a day, to recharge their batteries, to gain new knowledge, and to get to know each other's work, difficulties and possibilities for cooperation.

Train the Trainers (11 September 2024)
In preparation for the training of law enforcement officers (October 2024), an online event entitled Developing a financial model of labour exploitation to identify victims and companies and prevent exploitation (INVERT), awarded by the European Union Internal Security Fund programme, was held on 11 September 2024. The main points of the training modules to be delivered during this training were presented.
The first training material was edited by OKRI, with the participation of Transcrime and Victim Support Europe, and presented at this event. We learned that the so-called INVERT Suite is expected to be operational on a trial basis from November 2024 and how to prepare for interviews with victims, what circumstances and aspects should be taken into account.
Subsequently, Italian colleagues (from Arma dei Carabinieri and Osservatorio Sulla Sicurezza e Difesa CBRNe) presented their investigative techniques in labour exploitation cases, which they also summarised in their own training material.
Based on what was said at the event, specific knowledge applicable to their own legal environment will be provided to both Italian and Hungarian law enforcement officers in training sessions to be organised until October 2024.
