Human trafficking is a grave violation of human rights and a criminal act involving the exploitation and coercion of individuals for various purposes. It entails the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, or receipt of people through force, fraud, or deception, with the aim of subjecting them to forced labor, sexual exploitation, or other forms of exploitation. Victims of human trafficking are often vulnerable individuals who may be deceived by false promises of better opportunities or coerced through violence and intimidation.
This illicit practice occurs globally, crossing borders and affecting people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds. It thrives on the vulnerability of individuals facing economic hardship, lack of education, or political instability. Human trafficking not only undermines the dignity and autonomy of its victims but also contributes to transnational organized crime. Efforts to combat human trafficking involve prevention, prosecution of perpetrators, and protection and support for survivors to break the cycle of exploitation and ensure justice for those affected.
