Each year, thousands of women, children and men are trafficked into modern day slavery. It may be that, as you travel on business, you see signs of people being forced to sell sex, or work in forced labor. Now you can report in a low-key and simple way, what you have seen. By sending a message through this website, you will enable Business Travellers against Human Trafficking to connect with the appropriate authorities to investigate further.
Business Travellers against Human Trafficking can also supply high quality training and resources to inform you and your staff on how to recognize the signs of human trafficking and what action to take.

The government of Gambia has made progress in its fight against human trafficking, with the positive enforcement of new anti child trafficking legislation which was passed in 2005, and the drafting of a comprehensive law against human trafficking. Since that law passed, nine cases of human trafficking have been prosecuted. A victims’ centre has been opened in the capital Banjul, and a sensitisation program has been carried out in co-operation with national NGOs. \r\n\r\nGambia remains a source, transit and destination country for women and children trafficked into forced labour and sexual exploitation. There is also a demand for child sex tourism in the country. It is to be hoped that the growing awareness amongst the police and a willingness to prosecute will make foreigners think twice about travelling to the country to exploit children.
