Human trafficking

The buying and selling of human beings for profit. Human trafficking is an extremely serious crime and a gross violation of human rights, which can be classified as a modern form of slavery. The goal of this section is to raise awareness of the problem and to show what is being done at EU-level and in the Member States to fight this injustice, to promote exchange of ideas and cooperation between all organisations, and to help people involved in the fight against trafficking in human beings and the protection of victims.
