Abstract :Human trafficking, which is deemed a type of modern slavery, has been discussed in many studies under international law or transnational crimes. However, it has not been discussed in Türkiye so far from the perspective of victims. This study investigates into the effectiveness of public services such as voluntary repatriation and support programs for victims intended for human trafficking victims in Türkiye. Finally the effectiveness of these practices is evaluated through qualitative research conducted with 14 Immigration Experts working in the Presidency of Migration Management by applying the participatory method. The study results have shown that the laws and regulations written on the desk have difficulty going beyond theory and there are a set of troubles in practice.
