European Forum against Human Trafficking for Forced Labour and Labour Exploitation
7-8 December 2023, Stockholm

Join the fight against human trafficking for labour exploitation in Europe by participating in the European Forum against Human Trafficking for Forced Labour and Labour Exploitation in Stockholm, Sweden

“Human trafficking and human exploitation are some of the most serious forms of crime that violate the human rights of the victims. The crimes are often crossborder and part of the criminal economy. It is therefore important that we cooperate internationally to fight this type of crime and learn from each other.”

European Forum against Human Trafficking for Forced Labour and Labour Exploitation
Stockholm, 7-8 December 2023

How do European states currently perceive and tackle labour exploitation? What measures have proven effective, and which fall short? Is there evidence of successful prosecution of labour exploitation within a European framework?

Be part of a diverse array of voices, from national and international policymakers to frontline responders such as labour inspectorates, legal professionals, migration agencies, and academics, as well as stakeholders from the private sector, employer organisations and union organisations.

The European Forum against Human Trafficking for Forced Labour and Labour Exploitation is jointly organised by the Council of the Baltic Sea States (CBSS) and the Swedish Gender Equality Agency.
