Human trafficking and slavery remain significant global problems. Trafficking involves exploiting people through coercion or deception for forced labor or commercial sex. It is estimated that hundreds of thousands of people, mostly women and children, are trafficked across international borders each year. To effectively address trafficking, a multi-faceted approach is needed that includes prevention, prosecution of traffickers, and protection of victims, along with efforts to promote economic development, human rights, women's empowerment, and conflict resolution.
