“Few human rights violations are so universally condemned by Council of Europe member states as the exploitation of the most vulnerable”, says Dunja Mijatović, Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, in her Human Rights Comment published today.

As a result, year on year, the fight against trafficking in human beings or the eradication of what some call modern slavery is gaining in prominence on their agendas. They are right in doing so, as these acts are a clear assault on human dignity. While anyone can fall victim to exploitation and human trafficking, certain groups are particularly vulnerable.
