Human Trafficking
continues to be a dangerous problem in the world.
According to the UN reports, every year about four
million people become the victim of human
trafficking in this or other way. This problem is
not alien to Azerbaijan as well.
The facts of sexual abuse of women have spread all
over the country.
Azerbaijan is primarily a country of origin and
transit for trafficked men, women, and children for
the purposes of sexual exploitation and forced
labor.
