Human Trafficking/Forced Prostitution in Portugal
“Portugal is on the human trafficking route and not just as a transit point. It is a country that is at risk and quite susceptible to this issue. Firstly because it is a route and secondly, because it is also considered one of the dream destinations for many.
Being close to the Mediterranean makes it a bridge between Africa and Europe, as well as between the Latin America and the rest of Europe, so it is a country that brings together a special confluence to be on the route of human trafficking and also a destination country, where people visit. Therefore, like other European countries, Portugal must take bigger measurements to battle the risk of such criminal activities.”
