Trafficking in Persons (TiP) is a serious crime and a grave violation of human rights. Globally men, women and children are trafficked across international borders or within their domestic jurisdictions for the purpose of forced labour, domestic servitude, sexual exploitation, removal of organs, forced military conscription and other unsavoury practices. This list of exploitive purposes is not exhaustive and continues to evolve in the 21  st century. Countries are categorized as either places of origin, transit or destination for trafficking in persons or a combination of the aforementioned. UNODC is the custodian of the international framework relevant to transnational organized crime including human trafficking and the smuggling of migrants. Therefore, it assists States Parties to the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (UNTOC) and its Protocols thereto, to fulfill their obligations.

In this instance, assistance will be provided with regard to UNODC,s programmes to address trafficking in persons and smuggling of migrants in the East African region.
