Der bør ydes bistand og støtte til personer, så snart der foreligger en rimelig begrundet indikation, der giver anledning til at antage, at den pågældende kan være offer for menneskehandel, uanset om den pågældende er villig til at optræde som vidne.
A person should be provided with assistance and support as soon as there is a reasonable-grounds indication for believing that he or she might have been trafficked and irrespective of his or her willingness to act as a witness.
