Recommendation 118
118
The implications for Albanian women and children are particularly concerning.
Conclusion
The implications for Albanian women and children are particularly concerning. For example, an Albanian woman who has been trafficked to the UK and faces a real risk of reprisals and re-trafficking upon return to Albania, could be returned to Albania unless she can demonstrate “exceptional circumstances” according to the determination of the Secretary of State. The UK country guidance and decisions of UK courts have recognised that certain groups of Albanian citizens may be at risk of persecution.155
