Trafficking in human beings (THB), a modern form of slavery, is a complex and multidimensional crime that severely violates human rights and dignity. It affects all OSCE participating States and often transcends borders, requiring international, national and regional co-operation. THB can affect individuals of any gender, age, race or religion. OSCE participating States have committed to taking action to prevent THB, prosecute perpetrators, and protect victims. The OSCE supports participating States by assisting in implementing commitments and developing effective policies to combat THB.
