What it means for you
If a job offer promises unusually high pay, check the employer and the contract first. If your wages are withheld or you are forced to work unpaid overtime, you can ask the competent institutions or specialized organizations for help. Foreign workers from India, Bangladesh and Uzbekistan are among the most exposed.
What happened
In the first nine months of 2026, the Safe Migration and Anti-Trafficking Hotline assisted over 150 possible victims of human trafficking. In the same period of the previous year it helped 71. Silvia Melnic, the hotline manager, run by the International Center La Strada, says traffickers now use deception more than physical violence.
In short
- Over 150 people were considered possible victims in the first nine months of 2026.
- This figure is not the number of trafficking cases confirmed by authorities through legal procedures.
- According to the specialist, labour exploitation mainly affects men.
- Traffickers use digital platforms to contact vulnerable people with job offers that only seem advantageous.
