Permit for victims of human trafficking

Víctima de trata de personas

What is human trafficking?

Trafficking is a modern form of slavery that violates human rights and causes irreparable harm to its victims. It primarily affects women and girls, who represent 65% of the identified victims of this crime*.

It can take the form of forced labor, forced begging, or sexual exploitation.

* The 2020 Global Report on Trafficking in Persons indicates that 65% of victims are women and girls.

How to recognize the crime of human trafficking:

First, you should know that human trafficking affects or could affect people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds.

  • These are some warning situations:

    • If you are unable to leave your workplace and your movements are monitored.
    • If you are threatened with being handed over to the authorities and you fear about your immigration status.
    • If your identification documents are withheld and you are isolated from your surroundings..
    • If you are forced to provide unpaid services to settle alleged debts for travel and housing.
    • If you work excessive hours per day for extended periods, have no days off or access to medical care, and receive little or no pay.
    • If you are dependent on someone who acted on the basis of deceptive promises.
