Consultancy
Claudia is working collaboratively with the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the International Organization of Migration (IOM) on developing an Evidence Gap Map (EGM) for Human Trafficking by reviewing empirical research (academic and grey literature) to develop an annotated bibliography. The EGM is a digital tool freely available to researchers, students, and NGOs to find overlooked research areas intersecting with human trafficking.
