My Department will shortly commence work on preparing a Request for Tender (RFT) for the purpose of providing gender-specific accommodation for trafficked women. This will look at the accommodation needs of trafficking women but also how the services that they need can be provided to them. It will take account of their vulnerability and the importance of safeguarding their safety.

It is expected that the RFT will be published later this year.
