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 the facilitation, for financial or other material gain, of irregular entry into a country where the migrant is not a national or resident. The criminals behind this highly profitable business seize the opportunity created by the need or desire of people to escape not just poverty and lack of employment opportunities but also natural disaster, conflict or persecution. |
Human trafficking and migrant smuggling are global and widespread crimes that use men, women and children for profit. The organized networks or individuals behind these lucrative crimes take advantage of people who are vulnerable, desperate or simply seeking a better life. UNODC strives for the eradication of these crimes through the dismantling of the criminal enterprises that trade in people and the conviction of the main preparators. Ultimately, our work safeguards people from the abuse, neglect, exploitation or even death that is associated with these crimes.
