This toolkit is a basic guide for service providers working with non-EEA migrants in Ireland who are affected by issues of gender-based violence and human trafficking. It explains the definitions of these phenomena, how they can specifically affect migrants, and why migrants can be more vulnerable to their effects.

The toolkit also briefly sets out the current administrative schemes applied by the Minister for Justice in Ireland to non-EEA migrants affected by domestic violence and human trafficking, and shares information on support services that are available in the West of Ireland. Additionally, it can be used by other individuals working with migrants to ensure they understand the importance of a person accessing appropriate advice about their residence permission.
