Human trafficking is a form of human trafficking specifically targeting women. It occurs in national, European, and international contexts.
The United Nations defines Human trafficking as a form of exploitation in which people are forced into labor against their will or are sexually exploited. A human trafficker is someone who recruits, transports, or accommodates other people through force or coercion, for example, to force them into prostitution, enslave them, or remove their organs. Worldwide, women and children are particularly common victims of human trafficking.
Women who leave their homeland for various reasons are particularly affected by trafficking. The triggers for women's migration are often the economic situation and poverty in their countries of origin, a lack of personal and professional prospects, but also crises and armed conflicts.
Migration appears to open up new earning opportunities for women. However, women often experience exploitative working conditions and health risks, human trafficking, economic and sexual exploitation, and racist DiscriminationHuman trafficking violates women's guaranteed human rights.
