Every year, thousands of men, women,
and children fall into the hands of traffickers, in their own countries
and abroad. Almost every country in the world is affected by
trafficking, whether as a country of origin, transit, or destination
for victims. In a new
study released this month by the UN Office on Drugs and
Crime (UNODC), the pandemic was shown to have “increased
vulnerabilities to trafficking in persons while making trafficking even
harder to detect and leaving victims struggling to obtain help and
access to justice,” said UNODC Executive Director, Ghada Waly.
Tomorrow, the United Nations observes 30 July as World Day Against
Trafficking in Persons. We encourage you to take action by learning
more about this grave violation of human rights. We created this free
online training in partnership with The Salvation Army. It provides
guidance on identifying the signs of trafficking and supporting
survivors.
By learning how to recognize and take appropriate actions to respond,
we can help put an end to human trafficking.
