- Summary
- On the occasion of the United Nations World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, La Strada International calls on governments, law enforcement agencies, and criminal justice practitioners across Europe to strengthen efforts to identify and protect victims of trafficking for the purpose of forced criminality. Although this form of trafficking is increasingly reported, it remains significantly under-recognised.
