Indonesia–Malaysia–Philippines

Heavy maritime traffic allows organized crime to hide illicit cargo among legitimate trade like low-earth orbit satellite equipment used to support scam operations.

Stronger maritime law enforcement is essential.

Human trafficking is changing with technology.
From fake online offers to sextortion and digital blackmail, traffickers are exploiting the internet to target vulnerable people. Stay alert.
Verify before you trust. Report suspicious activities.

[OSCE Anti-Trafficking @osce_cthb]

⚠️ Child trafficking isn't just a cross-border crime. It happens within countries, neighborhoods, and increasingly #online. Traffickers can exploit children through social media, gaming platforms, and messaging apps.
Recruitment often involves people already in a child's life: acquaintances, peers, or trusted figures.
The reality is broader than most people think.
Understanding it is the first step to making a difference.

[UN Office on Drugs & Crime @UNODC]

Human trafficking is organized crime.

Ending the exploitation requires

⏩Targeting criminal networks, not only small-scale traffickers

⏩Following the money

⏩Protecting victims

#EndHumanTrafficking

[UN Office on Drugs & Crime @UNODC]

Organized crime can affect anyone.

It’s behind the falsified medicine that kills a child.

The scam that empties a retiree’s savings.

It thrives on profit, at the cost of people’s lives.
