Human Trafficking in Aviation

Thursday, February 23, 2023 13:00to15:30

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) estimates that there are 50 million people worldwide in modern slavery in 2021 and IOM case data shows that 80% of international human trafficking journeys cross through official border points including airports. With this in mind, this round-table discussion will address the underlying causes of human trafficking in general and consider what aviation stakeholders are doing to address the challenge of human trafficking.
