In this episode, UNICEF Innocenti research and evaluation specialist on child protection, Alina Potts discusses how her experiences responding to crises in Syria and Lebanon inspired her recent blog titled “‘Nobody will answer you if you talk’: The case for research on trafficking in emergencies.” Alina is an expert on research examining the intersection between intimate partner violence and violence affecting children in emergencies, and in this episode we discuss her background working in humanitarian crises - where she has rapidly assessed women and girls’ protection needs and developed programs to respond to them – as well as her current role researching trafficking in emergencies. Alina shares some best practices and advice on how to improve research efforts and programme outcomes, to protect the most vulnerable from the risk of trafficking during emergencies.
