SUMMARY:International Day against Transnational Organized Crime
DESCRIPTION:High-level Event to Commemorate the first International Day for the Prevention of and Fight against All Forms of Transnational Organized Crime.On 15 November 2025\, the world marks the second International Day for the Prevention of and Fight against All Forms of Transnational Organized Crime (TOC)\, established by General Assembly resolution 78/267. This day highlights the urgent need for global solidarity to counter the rising threat of organized crime\, which undermines peace\, security and progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). \nCriminal networks are exploiting global vulnerabilities on a vast scale—from human trafficking to environmental destruction and cybercrime. Organized crime operates across borders\, posing serious challenges that no country can tackle alone.\nWhy now? \nTOC Day calls for united global action.\nThe devastating impact of organized crime threatens lives\, destabilizes communities and hinders economic and social development. But despite these challenges\, there is hope. This day serves as a rallying point for action\, demonstrating that collective efforts — by governments\, the private sector\, civil society and individuals — can achieve real change. \nLed by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC)\, this campaign showcases success stories where cooperation has led to meaningful progress\, from dismantling trafficking networks to promoting sustainable alternatives to illicit economies. Together\, we can push back against organized crime and build safer\, more resilient communities worldwide.

SUMMARY:World Day Against Trafficking in Persons
DESCRIPTION:Human trafficking is estimated to be a $236 billion global industry victimizing 28 million people (ILO\, 2024). Together\, we can end human trafficking.What is World Day Against Trafficking in Persons?\nWorld Day Against Trafficking in Persons is an annual event globally observed on July 30th.\nThe day was established on December 18\, 2013\, by the United Nations General Assembly with the desire to: \n\nRaise awareness\nPromote the protection of the rights of trafficking victims\nEncourage governments\, organizations\, and individuals to prevent and combat trafficking in persons.\n\nIn addition to this day\, January is designated as Human Trafficking Prevention Month in the United States. While World Day Against Trafficking in Persons has a broader global focus\, Human Trafficking Prevention Month is a national effort designed to raise awareness and promote US efforts to combat human trafficking. \nTogether\, these initiatives play crucial roles in raising awareness and mobilizing actions to fight against trafficking. \nWhat is human trafficking?\nHuman trafficking is a criminal act where individuals are exploited for profit through force\, fraud\, threats\, or manipulation. Victims are subject to forced labor\, prostitution\, and other forms of commercial sexual exploitation. It is a serious crime and a violation of human rights\, as it involves the exploitation and abuse of vulnerable individuals who are bought and sold like goods for financial gain or other self-serving purposes. \nWhere is human trafficking a problem?\nHuman trafficking is a global issue affecting an estimated 27.6 million people around the world (Walk Free\, 2022). The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) finds the presence of human trafficking in 141 countries (UNODC\, 2022). However\, some countries have particularly high rates of trafficking. The crime flourishes in regions where public justice systems struggle to hold perpetrators accountable and control the rate of crime. \nEach year the U.S. State Department’s Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (TIP Office) releases the TIP Report to shed light on the current scale of modern slavery (of which human trafficking is a part of) around the world and assess countries’ efforts to combat it. Read more about why this report is one of the most effective tools in our fight to end human trafficking around the world. \nWhy is human trafficking still a significant problem today?\n\nEconomic demand: The demand for cheap labor fosters exploitative practices while the high profitability of this crime entices individuals to target and take advantage of vulnerable people around them. It is only becoming increasingly lucrative. The human trafficking industry generates $236 billion in revenue annually\, a 37% increase from previous estimates (ILO\, 2024).\nSocial vulnerability: Migration\, poverty\, and gender inequality are all factors that contribute to social vulnerability. Traffickers exploit vulnerable people through force\, threats or false promises of better lives and job opportunities.\nLack of protection: Victims are enslaved indefinitely because they lack protection. The lack of awareness of the crime causes many instances to go undetected or unreported. Even when cases are reported\, weak or ineffective law enforcement fails to deliver effective responses\, preventing victims from receiving the justice they deserve. Less than half of 1% of human trafficking victims are identified.
