Trafficked Persons
These are the ‘victims,’44 all the women and children and men who are deceived, transported
and delivered into the hands of those who exploit them for profit. The complexity of actors
and dynamics of the human trafficking markets is also the key factor that make trafficking
so difficult to detect and combat, and which makes victims so difficult to identify and assist.
Victims of trafficking can be male or female, of varying age groups, coming from different
backgrounds, and targeted for different purposes.
