Although there is consensus among different actors regarding the seriousness and significance of re-trafficking as a problem, there has been very little research conducted into its incidence, cause or consequence.

Return and reintegration can be at odds with the practice of mobility in Afghanistan. Return and reintegration is often built on a sedentary assumption, understood as a one-way process that leads to people being anchored (Natta, 2014) back in their homes.

Las primeras sesiones del seminario web organizado por el Centro de Gestión del Conocimiento pretenden dar una idea general del Manual sobre Reintegración recientemente publicado.
