SEE-July29th: Ahead of the World Day Against Trafficking in persons on July30, UN Secretary General António Guterres described the act of human trafficking as a "vile crime that feeds on inequalities, instability and conflict. Human traffickers profit from peoples’ hopes and despair."
He added, "They prey on the vulnerable and rob them of their fundamental rights. Children and young people, migrants and refugees are especially susceptible. Women and girls are targeted again and again. We see brutal sexual exploitation, including involuntary prostitution, forced marriage and sexual slavery. We see the appalling trade in human organs. Human trafficking takes many forms and knows no borders. Human traffickers too often operate with impunity, with their crimes receiving not nearly enough attention. This must change."
