How to preserve evidence
Simple, safe habits that can matter a great deal later, without putting yourself at greater risk.
What it means
- Evidence can include contracts, payment receipts, messages, photos, and a written timeline of what happened, when.
- Preserving evidence should never come before your immediate physical safety.
What to do
- Keep photographed or scanned copies of your passport, contract, and receipts stored somewhere other than your physical documents, for example, sent to a trusted contact or a personal email account.
- Save messages and records rather than deleting them, where it is safe to do so.
- Write down dates, names, and locations as soon as you can, while details are fresh.
- Share a copy of your itinerary and key documents with someone you trust before you travel.
Where to seek help
- A qualified legal aid provider or anti-trafficking organization can advise on how evidence may be used.
