GA number: 101101925

Challenge

According to the latest EU-wide data (2017-18), trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation remains the predominant form of trafficking in the EU Member States, while trafficking for the purpose of labour exploitation was reported as the second most common form of exploitation in the EU-28 (including the UK). Trafficking in Human Beings (THB) is often transnational in character and its victims are of all genders and ages.

Women and children, already the most vulnerable group, account for roughly 90% of the refugee flow, and after the war in Ukraine have now been exposed to an even greater risk as they often travel unaccompanied.

The project addresses the need to enhance the training and cooperation of the various actors (Law Enforcement Agencies, prosecutors, labour inspectors, civil society) in producing effective responses to, all forms of THB.  

Innovation

ERADICATING II aims to increase the number of identified victims of labour trafficking, especially among vulnerable groups such as women and children, as well as to increase the number of investigations and prosecutions at EU level.
