About this Talk
This panel will talk about the human trafficking in Southeast Europe during the concurrent crises including COVID-19 pandemic, the war crisis and the illegal immigration crisis. Subsequently, they explore the impact of COVID-19 on the identification of trafficked victims during the pandemic in the United Kingdom. The effect during the pandemic was that they had less opportunity to either self-identify themselves as victims or be identified by frontline agencies. Finally, they will discuss the human trafficking situation in Portugal and the Atlantic by shedding light on its various aspects, challenges, and potential ways to combat it.
