Global Action to Prevent and Address Trafficking in Persons and the Smuggling of Migrants

The Global Action to Prevent and Address Trafficking in Persons and the Smuggling of Migrants is an international effort to combat two related issues: human trafficking and migrant smuggling. Human trafficking involves forcing or deceiving people into exploitative situations, while migrant smuggling involves illegally helping people cross borders for profit. This initiative promotes cooperation among countries to strengthen laws, share information, and provide support to victims, aiming to reduce these crimes, protect vulnerable populations, and uphold human rights globally.
