GLO.ACT holds police training and community awareness session on human trafficking and migrant smuggling in Karachi
La trata de personas y el tráfico ilícito de migrantes constituyen delitos generalizados con alcance global, los cuales utilizan a hombres, mujeres, niños y niñas con fines lucrativos. Las redes organizadas o los individuos que se encuentran detrás de estos lucrativos delitos se aprovechan de personas vulnerables, desesperadas o de quienes simplemente buscan una vida mejor. La UNODC se esfuerza por erradicar estos delitos mediante el desmantelamiento del comercio mafioso y delictivo que se beneficia del tráfico ilícito de personas, y el enjuiciamiento y el castigo de los principales responsables. Nuestra labor se centra en la prevención y en establecer un entorno protector para las mujeres, hombres, niños y niñas, que les defienda contra los graves daños que conllevan estos delitos, como el abandono, el abuso, la explotación o incluso la muerte.

Refugees who are fleeing conflict and crisis are being targeted by human traffickers who take advantage of their vulnerable circumstances and search for a better life.
Traffickers thrive in situations of instability and refugees, among them unaccompanied children, are at risk when they cross borders, travel inside a host country or even live inside a camp.
A web application that can support police investigations into human trafficking rings has taken the top prize at the recent "DataJam Against Exploitation" competition.
The team behind the winning entry, 'Buyer Resist', consists of five young professionals from British Columbia, Canada who were among 75 participants of 16 different nationalities to take part in the online technological innovation event.
Over eleven days in May, they competed online to develop technology-based solutions to identify and protect victims of human trafficking and support prosecutions of this crime.

Human trafficking is a vicious crime that violates the human rights of its victims. But over time and with appropriate support, many victims survive their ordeal and are prepared to speak out and take action to prevent this crime and ensure victims get the help they need to rebuild their lives.

Migrant smuggling is a global and profitable crime with a high demand and a low risk of detection and punishment for the criminals involved.
Smugglers conduct their activities with little or no regard for the safety and dignity of the people they illegally transport over national borders.
Journeys are often long and dangerous and the conditions inhumane. Smuggled migrants constantly face threats of violence, abuse and even death.
The Human Trafficking and Migrant Smuggling Section of the United Nations Office and Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has released its 2020 Annual Report, which highlights the main achievements of the Section during a year of challenges and anniversaries.
Despite the global restrictions imposed to curb the spread of COVID-19, crime prevention and criminal justice experts were able to support over 50 countries in their efforts to counter human trafficking and migrant smuggling and train around 2,500 people who prevent and prosecute cases of these crimes.
The Report also shares details of new studies to be published in 2021 and details on upcoming UN events that will focus on the topics of human trafficking and migrant smuggling.
