- Summary
- Economic hardship, inefficient criminal legislation, and a lack of border controls are cited as the primary reasons for the trafficking phenomenon in Georgia. Georgian government officials have reportedly accepted bribes from traffickers. One organization in Georgia proclaims that trafficking is protected by people in the high echelons of the country's government. The same organization also claims to have information on dozens of travel agencies that are involved in the trafficking industry.
