A trafficked person is someone who is transferred across
borders or within a state for the purposes of slavery or servitude. The crime
of trafficking is generally characterised by three elements:
• the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or reception of
persons;
• the threat or use of force or various forms of non-violent coercion such as
fraud or deception;
• exploitation, predominantly for forced labour in the construction,
agriculture and domestic sectors as well as for begging, prostitution and
various forms of sexual exploitation.
It is the exploitative purpose that is at the core of trafficking and
distinguishes it from other crimes.
