158 human traffickers arrested and 1 194 victims safeguarded in global human trafficking operation codenamed ‘Global Chain’. The crackdown focused on trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation, forced criminality and forced begging. 🌐 The operation engaged nearly 15 000 officers from 43 different countries and involved law enforcement, border guards, labour inspectorates, tax- and customs authorities. Potential victims were reported from 64 different countries, with a majority from Romania, Ukraine, Colombia, China and Hungary. 🔷 Many of the victims had been trafficked across borders, and even continents, underlying the global nature of human trafficking schemes. Investigations show that the vast majority of victims of sexual exploitation are female and adult, while the exploitation of underage victims is mostly connected to forced begging and forced criminal activity such as pickpocketing. In many of these cases, the safeguarding of victims can be challenging, as they are often exploited by family members. Read more in our press release ⤵️ https://lnkd.in/e3EBBTUe
