Summary

Ahead of the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris from 26 July to 11 August 2024, LSI and CCEM organised a public event on the link between human trafficking and sport (events). 
While evidence on the link between human trafficking and sport events is generally lacking and the links remain complex, panellists discussed the risks of severe forms of labour exploitation prior and during sport events; highlighting preventive measures to take and lessons learnt.
