THE SCALE AND SCOPE OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN SOUTH EASTERN EUROPE

On 31 May, the UN Office n Drugs and Crime published a report saying that migrants on their way from Asia to Europe are being forced to work in the construction, agriculture, and hospitality sectors by human traffickers who abuse their irregular status and fear of deportation.  Children, often exploited by their own family members, are compelled to commit crimes, while others are sexually exploited online.  Sexual exploitation, primarily of women who are trafficked to countries in Western and Southern Europe, remains the most prevalent form of the crime, while cases of labour exploitation are rising.
