| Definitions |
The number of identified victims of trafficking in persons divided by the population, expressed per 100,000 persons.
|
| Concepts |
Trafficking in persons is defined as the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring, or receipt of persons for the purpose of exploitation (UN Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, 2000). Forms of exploitation include labour exploitation, sexual exploitation, forced involvement in criminal activities, the use of children for begging, and organ removal
|
| Rationale and interpretation |
This indicator reflects the scale of trafficking in persons and the effectiveness of measures aimed at protecting human rights. High values indicate insufficient effectiveness of prevention efforts and the protection of vulnerable population groups.
|
| Method of computation |
The indicator is calculated as the ratio of the number of identified and registered victims of trafficking in persons during the reporting period to the average annual population, multiplied by 100,000.
|
| Comments and limitations |
The calculation includes victims of trafficking in persons identified within the framework of registered criminal cases, information on which is contained in the Unified Register of Crimes of the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Kyrgyz Republic.
The indicator is disaggregated by sex, age, and form of exploitation on the basis of criminal statistics data.
|
| Quality assurance |
Data are regularly cross-checked with the information contained in the UIS “Unified Register of Crimes” in order to ensure their completeness, accuracy, and timeliness.
|
| Data availability and gaps |
Data are available annually with 2015.
|
| Disaggregation |
Disaggregation is available by territory — republic, oblast, district — and by sex.
|
| Comparability with international data/standards |
The methodology for calculating the indicator is in line with the recommendations of the United Nations and UNODC. However, international comparability is limited due to differences in national legal definitions of trafficking in persons, victim identification procedures, detection rates, and the availability of administrative data across countries.
