Which are the three components of the Trafficking in Persons (TIP) framework?

• A. Prevention, Prosecution, and Protection and Assistance
• B. Investigation, Prosecution, and Deportation
• C. Prevention, Protection, and Promotion
• D. Enforcement, Compliance, and Reporting

Answer: (A)

The TIP framework is built on three pillars: prevention to stop trafficking before it happens; protection and assistance to safeguard victims and connect them with help; and prosecution to hold traffickers accountable through the justice system. The option that lists Prevention, Prosecution, and Protection and Assistance aligns with this structure because it names all three pillars and explicitly includes protection plus the necessary support services victims need. Other options shift focus to enforcement actions like deportation or use terms such as promotion, compliance, or reporting, which don’t capture the full three-pillar approach.
