Human trafficking

People smuggling: how it works, who benefits and how it can be stopped

Palestinians mourning the loss of compatriots who boarded a boat to Europe that was intentionally capsized by traffickers last September cast roses in to the Mediterranean sea.
One of the most distressing elements of the worldwide migrant crisis is that people who have risked all for a better life should be held to ransom by smugglers.
The lines between migration and human trafficking all too easily converge. While migration implies a level of individual choice, migrants are sometimes detained and even tortured by the people they pay to lead them across borders.
