Agenda setting of the work of the Special Rapporteur 2015, para. 9
Paragraph
Paragraph text
No country or region is spared the crime of trafficking in persons, which can occur everywhere - at the national, subregional, regional, transcontinental and international levels. Recent trends reveal that victims tend to be trafficked from poor countries to more affluent ones within a region. Similarly, there is also a correlation between the affluence of a destination country (measured by its gross domestic product) and the share of victims trafficked there from other regions (transregional trafficking). Richer countries attract victims from a variety of origins and countries, whereas less affluent countries are mainly affected by domestic or subregional trafficking flows.
