Every day thousands of women, men and children are trafficked worldwide for various exploitative purposes

It is our common responsibility and our mission to guarantee the safety and well-being of women, men and children and ensure that they are free from sexual and labour exploitation.

Trafficking in Human Beings (THB) shows no signs of diminishing and remains a heavily profit-driven crime that is profoundly difficult to operate without leaving a financial footprint. The UNCHAINED project is focused on the key topic of financial flows into and out of these types of high profit activities and adopts the follow-the-money approach.

By investigating the business models behind THB and through that, its relationship to other crimes (such as ML, migrant smuggling, and drug trafficking), the range of actors and decision makers involved (knowingly or otherwise) and their modi operandi can be exposed and prevented. The project will be promoting collaborative information sharing partnerships and enhanced reporting of suspicious financial activity.

objectives are

The understanding of the phenomenon, so the interrelation of the so-called poly-crimes phenomenon;

Improving the financial analysis capacity of LEAs and Prosecutor Offices, in cooperation with private  organizations managing key data to identify perpetrators and the modi operandi of different groups;

Enhancing the skills, the know-how and the competences of the first line practitioners within their  own specific jurisdiction to identify and report suspicious financial activities;

Raise awareness on emerging trends in the field of  countering THB.
