Human Trafficking is a massive worldwide problem that crosses borders and very few countries are immune to human trafficking. Thousands of men, women and children are trapped in some form of modern-day slavery and end up in the hands of traffickers every year.

A global problem like trafficking needs a worldwide solution and therefore, it’s time for government agencies, civil societies and NGOs to raise awareness, coordinate their efforts to fight against the devastating issue and promote the protection of people’s fundamental human rights.

Therefore, every year, World Day against Trafficking in Persons is held on July 30th to raise awareness, encourage vigilance and gain support for the prevention of human trafficking.
