Summary
With this plan of action, the Government is paving the way for coordinated, coherent efforts to stop human trafficking and ensure that victims are helped and protected. This plan is based on the experience gained from previous plans of action and on the lessons learned from projects and initiatives that have been implemented, nationally and internationally. Since the trafficking exposed in Norway has primarily concerned the exploitation of women and young girls for prostitution or other sexual purposes, our efforts will continue to target this type of human trafficking. At the same time, the Government wishes to focus on male victims of human trafficking, and on human trafficking in the form of forced labour and trade in human organs. These are areas to which little attention has been paid in Norway up to now, but where the Government wishes to intensify its efforts, especially through its work at the international level.
