- Summary
- Turkey is a major destination country in human trafficking due to its geographical location and higher level of prosperity in relation to the neighbouring countries. Those trafficked to Turkey are mostly citizens of former Eastern Block countries that have low average national incomes per capita. Although human trafficking in Turkey mostly involves sexual exploitation of women and girls, when determining its strategy for combating THB, Turkey does consider the fact that also men can be exposed to this crime. The report describes the progress achieved in the field of combating human trafficking under the titles of prevention, protection and law enforcement. It also provides comprehensive information regarding the legal and administrative measures taken in the filed of combating human trafficking in Turkey and includes statistical data for the year 2006.
