Understanding-Human-Trafficking-in-Rwanda-Causes-Effects-and-Impact-Baseline-Report

Human trafficking, the modern-day form of slavery, affects the lives of many people globally. A 2017 report by the International Labour Organization (ILO) estimated that 24.9 million men, women, and children were victims of human trafficking around the globe (Human trafficking by the numbers, 2017). Ending human trafficking remains a priority of the Rwandan government, as articulated clearly by H.E. President Paul Kagame in August 2014 during the swearing in of ministers, members of parliament, and the inspector general of police.
