This paper presents Romania legislative and interinstitutional efforts to counteract trafficking in human beings and to assure victims social protection and interests. In this respect, the paper discusses aspects concerning the protection and psychosocial assistance of victims in the penal process, since their identification as victims until the end of criminal proceedings. The Human Trafficking Victims Coordination Program in the Penal Process, implemented by the National Agency Against Trafficking in Person, aimed to increase victims trust in the judicial institutions and their participation in the penal process, is illustrated by a case study.
