Czechia urged to step up efforts to prevent human trafficking for labour exploitation

The Czech authorities should strengthen their efforts to prevent and combat trafficking in human beings, in particular as regards labour exploitation, improve the identification of victims, and take further action to prevent child trafficking, according to a new report released today by the Council of Europe’s Group of Experts on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings (GRETA).

According to official statistics, 90 adult victims of trafficking were identified in 2019-2023. The majority were foreign nationals exploited in the sectors of construction, agriculture, forestry, manufacturing, food processing and domestic work. There is no data available on child victims of trafficking.
