European Conference on Preventing and Combating Trafficking in Human Beings

On 19 December 2022, the European Commission put forward a proposal for the targeted revision of Directive 2011/36/EU, which is the main EU instrument to combat trafficking in human beings and protect its victims. Despite progress achieved in fighting this crime, the Commission reports that, on average, 7 000 people per year are victims of human trafficking in the EU and that this figure is most likely only the tip of the iceberg. Moreover, forms of exploitation have evolved over time and have adapted to the new environment. MEPs. MEPs Malin Björk and Eugenia Rodríguez Palop brief journalists on the deal reached on the revision of the directive on combating trafficking in human beings. The provisional agreement will expand the scope of the current directive to include forced marriage, illegal adoption and better support for victims.
