Human trafficking involves the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of persons by means of threats, use of force or other forms of coercion, for the purpose of exploitation, which may be sexual, labour-related, or for the removal of organs, among others.
The United Nations General Assembly designated 30 July as World Day Against Trafficking in Persons in 2013, with the aim of mobilising resources and efforts to combat this crime and support victims.
The Euro-Arab Foundation is involved in projects funded by the European Commission, such as VANGUARD, which aims to break the chain of human trafficking from a human rights perspective and put survivors at the centre of policies.
