This Brief summarizes the findings of the report "Mapping the online landscape of risks of trafficking in human beings on sexual services websites across the OSCE region." First of its kind, this report was designed to identify — in 40 OSCE participating States — the market-leading online sites and platforms for the explicit and non-explicit selling of sexual services where victims of THB for sexual exploitation could be advertised. The report's findings are based on the mapping and analysis of almost 2,900 sex services websites across the OSCE region, containing over 3 million advertisements; detailed information about how these websites operate is provided. The research also lists information and data associated with the sites and, through an analysis based on trafficking indicators, examines whether they can be exposed to human trafficking's risks.

Effectively combating trafficking in human beings requires a strategic, co-ordinated, and well-resourced national response, utilizing a whole-of-society approach that can protect victims, prosecute traffickers and prevent exploitation. National Action Plans (NAPs) are fundamental to successfully delivering such a response. Recognizing the importance of NAPs within national anti-trafficking systems, the Office of the OSCE Special Representative and Co-ordinator for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings analyzed the NAPs that are currently in use within the OSCE region to examine their structure and thematic priorities against persistent challenges and emerging trafficking trends.
