The people behind the port records
ITF also reports at least 27 crew disembarkations for medical attention in Peru during 2024. Its records provide a starting point for vessel-specific follow-up, not a diagnosis of trafficking in each instance.

What the record establishes
ITF also reports at least 27 crew disembarkations for medical attention in Peru during 2024. Its records provide a starting point for vessel-specific follow-up, not a diagnosis of trafficking in each instance.07
Why it matters
A person disembarked for treatment may need care, unpaid wages, repatriation or access to a complaint process. A port arrival is not the end of the story. Following those outcomes makes the record useful to the institutions responsible for worker protection, not only those responsible for fishing controls.

Responses and legal posture
The linked record does not establish a separate response obtained by this project. No outreach was conducted for this file.
What remains unresolved
seek corroborating port, hospital, consular and judicial records through appropriate public channels. Publish only necessary, already-public personal details; do not expose witnesses, their families or sensitive medical material.
