Location: Hofburg (Vienna, Austria)

The conference aims to foster collective action by developing a shared understanding of the evolving nature of trafficking for the purpose of exploitation in criminal activities, promoting a whole-of-society approach, and showcasing promising practices, operational tools, and effective methodologies. By underscoring the urgency of closing this critical security and protection gap, the conference will address the broader security implications of forced criminality and seek to strengthen co-ordinated responses to disrupt organized crime and enhance community safety.
