“…Within this context, individual vulnerability to trafficking follows common social fault lines, and vulnerabilities are frequently multiple and intersectional. In general, impacts of contextually specific risk factors and multi-scalar vulnerabilities occurring across multiple scales contribute to increased vulnerability for particular populations (Byrne et al 2021 ; Cho et al 2013 ). The International Organization for Migration’s Determinants of Migrant Vulnerability (DoMV) identifies determinants of vulnerability to exploitation, abuse, and violence broadly including trafficking.…”

COVID-19 has caused far-reaching humanitarian challenges. Amongst the emerging impacts of the pandemic is on the dynamics of human trafficking. This paper presents findings from a multi-methods study interrogating the impacts of COVID-19 on human trafficking in Sudan—a critical source, destination, and transit country. The analysis combines a systematic evidence review, semi-structured interviews, and a focus group with survivors, conducted between January and May of 2021. We find key risks have been exacerbated, and simultaneously, critical infrastructure for identifying victims, providing support, and ensuring accountability of perpetrators has been impeded. Centrally, the co-occurrence of the pandemic and the democratic transition undercut the institutional and governance capacity, limiting the anti-trafficking response and exposing already vulnerable groups to increased risks of human trafficking. Findings point to increased vulnerabilities for individuals with one or more of the following identities: migrants, refugees, females, and informal labourers.
