About Trafficking In Persons (Sesotho Version)

Trafficking in persons, also known as human trafficking, is a grave human rights violation involving the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, or receipt of individuals through means such as force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of exploitation. This crime affects millions globally, with women and children being particularly vulnerable to forced labour, sexual exploitation, and other forms of abuse. Trafficking undermines individual freedoms and societal well-being, often occurring in both cross-border and domestic contexts. Efforts to combat trafficking include strengthening legal frameworks, raising awareness, supporting survivors, and addressing the root causes such as poverty, inequality, and lack of education.
