Human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery where people profit from the control and exploitation of others.
Victims of human trafficking can include all walks of life. It can include women, children and men involved in the sex trade, adults age 18 or over who are coerced or deceived into commercial sex acts, and anyone forced into different forms of “labor or services,” such as domestic workers held in a home, beggars on the street, or farm-workers forced to labor against their will. The factors that each of these situations have in common are elements of force, fraud, or coercion that are used to control people. That control is tied to forcing someone into commercial sex acts, or labor or services.
Greece is known as ‘the center of trafficking in Europe’. A primary destination and transit country for human trafficking, Greece is the primary gateway for trafficked victims to enter the European Union, host to 90% of all EU illegal immigration. Trafficked victims are moved frequently, both internally and across borders, to evade detection. Human trafficking is a hidden crime here, with most citizens unaware of the gross human rights abuses occurring in their own city. Approximately 20,000 women, including 1 000 girls between the ages of 13-15, remain in the Greek sex industry. According to The Trafficking in Persons Report, these victims are primarily from Eastern Europe, the Balkans and Nigeria.
