Hi. I’m a Master’s Student taking Master in Migration Studies at Universitat Pompeu Fabra – Barcelona. I am currently collecting data for my thesis titled Corruption in the Border: How Strict Emigration Policies have affected the integrity of Border Control Procedures in the Philippines.

I would like to request your good office data on the repatriated trafficked Filipinos around the world from 2008-2022, their total number per year, by sex, country where they were trafficked, and if they were documented or irregular.

For your kind and favorable consideration.

Best regards,

Matt
