In March 2007, the Government launched a new action plan for the fight against human trafficking 2007-2010. The objective of the 2007 action plan is to ensure that all women, men and children who are identified as victims of human trafficking are to be offered the right kind of support in their present situation and to provide them with an alternative to being trafficked once again. The 2007 action plan focuses on the following four action areas:
- Strengthening investigation efforts in order to identify and bring traffickers before justice,
- Supporting the victims by improving the social services in Denmark,
- Preventing human trafficking by limiting demand and increasing the population‟s knowledge of these matters,
- Preventing human trafficking by improving international cooperation, including improving preventive work in the exporting countries,
The Danish action plan involves five ministries: the Ministry of Health and Prevention; the Ministry of Refugee, Immigration and Integration Affairs; the Ministry of Justice; the Ministry of the Interior and Social Affairs and the Minister for Gender Equality. As chairperson of the inter-ministerial working group to combat trafficking in women, the Department of Gender Equality coordinates the implementation of the action plan. As part of the action plan, the law was changed to allow victims of trafficking to stay in Denmark for a reflection period to allow for a prepared return for up to 100 days.
