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 International Organisation for Migration (IOM) has reported that more people have been trafficked from Ukraine than from any other Eastern European country, since the fall of the Soviet Union. The report states that 117,000 women, children and men have been trafficked since 1991 into forced labour, begging and prostitution. Destinations have included Russia, EU countries and the Middle East. Many of the victims were promised jobs abroad, but on arrival their travel documents were removed and they found themselves in a situation of slavery. \r\nThe EU recently announced funding of 2 million Euros for an IOM project supporting and re-integrating victims of human trafficking in Ukraine and Moldova.
