Abstract
This study is an explorative case study of the situation of Eritrean migrants and refugees in Libya, largely from an emic perspective. It was conducted as a series of interviews, mainly with survivors of human trafficking, but also with smugglers, translators, representatives of humanitarian organisations and others. The fieldwork was supplemented by a systematic literature review, which revealed that there has been little published on this topic. This research focused on Eritreans, as they constitute an important part of the survivors of human trafficking for ransom in Libya.
