Paragraph 1 a (new)
1a. Considers that greater consideration should be paid to the situation of transgender victims, who often experience discrimination, stigmatisation and threats of violence because of their gender identity; is of the opinion that transgender persons should be considered as a vulnerable group, particularly prone to fall into the hands of traffickers seeking to exploit their despair; believes this vulnerability factor should be taken into account when Member States conduct individual risk assessment so as to ensure victims of trafficking receive appropriate protection and care; calls on the Member States to provide adequate training for officials, likely to come into contact with victims or potential victims of trafficking in human beings, on the specificities of transgender victims, so as to be able to identify them more proactively and adapt assistance services to meet their needs;
