Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, how much her Department has spent on anti-human trafficking programmes in each year since 2010.

The information about the total amount DFID has spent on anti-human trafficking in each year since 2010 is not available in the form requested. DFID is committed to tackling trafficking and exploitation and is, for example, supporting a regional “Work in Freedom” programme led by the International Labour Organisation which supports safe migration and government capacity building in Asia. The programme helps stop women and girls from being trafficked through prevention, protection and empowerment. To date it has helped provide over 90,000 women with training to help them make informed migration decisions, reducing their risk of being trafficked from India, Nepal and Bangladesh.
