"Trafficked by Someone I know" is the study presented in the framework of the multilateral program on anti-trafficking, directed by the UNICEF office in Albania and funded by the Modern Slavery Fund of the United Kingdom government. The uniqueness of the report lies in the fact that evidence is generated from direct interviews with survivors of human trafficking that shed light on trafficker profiling, motivational and control tactics they exercise over their victims, as well as on the tactics of their recruitment.   
For the first time, the study highlighted previously unknown facts about the trafficking tactics used by other family members in cases of children, such as: Promises of employment, study opportunities, or overseas adventures (already discussed in the literature): friends, intimate partners; Increased use of social media as a tool for recruitment, especially to identify women and girls for sex trafficking: intimate partners. 
The study also provides an overview of the profile of human traffickers. 23 (out of 30) survivors interviewed (77%) identified their trafficker as male; (16.5%) identified their trafficker as female, while the general profiling of the traffickers describes them as young males, 20-30 years old, with low education, most of them unemployed.  
Much has been done by the Albanian government so far, but the country still needs to invest more in: Increasing awareness of human trafficking through extensive awareness campaigns for both the general public and specific groups of society; Designing educational programs, especially for the 12-14 age groups, to promote their healthy and informed growth before they embark on their first job or romantic relationship; etc.
