This plan focuses on five strategic areas (in a total of 53 measures); Prevention, Awareness-raising, Acknowledgement and Investigation; Education, Training and Qualification; Protection, Intervention and Capacity building; Criminal Investigation; Cooperation. In 213, Portugal amended the article of the Penal Code regarding trafficking in persons (article 16.º) by Law No. 6/213 of 23th of August. Nowadays, besides sexual, labor exploitation and removal of organs, begging, slavery and the exploitation of criminal activities were included. It was also included in the same Article 16 that the consent of the victim of trafficking in human beings is irrelevant. Some new aggravating penalties were also included in that article. Portugal has an Asset Recovery Office (ARO), Law No. 45/211, of 24th June, that has been changed by the Law 6/213, of 23rd of August. It states that the use of seized and confiscated funds and the proceeds from trafficking in persons can be channeled to support victims assistance and protection programs. Some legislation has been adapted in order to promote more efficient investigation tools for law enforcement agents. With the recent amendment of Law No. 5/22, of 11th January (by Law No. 6/213, of 23th of August), trafficking in persons was included in the list of crimes where a special legal framework for the collection of evidence, breach of confidentiality and loss of property to the State is foreseen. Also, with the latest amendment of Law No. 11/21, of 25th of August, (by Law No. 6/213, of 23th of August) undercover actions

66 for the purpose of preventing and detecting criminal agents were made possible for the crime of trafficking in persons. In June 213, the Network for the Support and Protection to Victims of Trafficking (RAPVT) was created.

These structures act to fight trafficking and support its victims and their activities strengthen the work of RAPVT, operationalizing its projects and activities (both networks are envisaged in the 3rd National Action Plan ). The purpose is to strengthening assistance to victims (ensuring that services are sufficient available and appropriate to meet the specific needs) and deepening of the multidisciplinary approach to the identification of victims, including through more systematic involvement of multidisciplinary teams in identification of victims of trafficking.
