World Day Against Trafficking in Humans

Written By Anne Walsh

World Day Against Trafficking in Persons is observed annually on July 30 to raise awareness of human trafficking and protect victims' rights. This year’s theme ‘Trapped Behind the Scam’ highlights trafficking for forced criminality in online scam operations. The UN Office for Drugs and Crime (UNODC) is calling for stronger action to protect victims and improve cross-border judicial and law enforcement cooperation. These efforts are essential to disrupting the organised crime groups behind trafficking-linked scam operations.
