Guidance

Human trafficking can occur anywhere. The Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement works in emergencies and crisis situations across the world, where people are particularly vulnerable to trafficking. National Societies can play an important role in raising awareness of trafficking and responding to the needs of survivors and those at risk of trafficking.
