Cornelia Primosch is joined by Pia Ahrenkilde Hansen, Spokeswoman of the European Commission (EC), to discuss the launch of an NGO platform on trafficking in human beings.

The EC regards human trafficking as the modern form of slavery and over the last years the EU has reinforced its legal base and legislation against this problem. Now, the Commission is launching an EU Civil Society Platform against trafficking in human beings, with the participation of over 100 civil society organisations from EU Member States and Croatia.

More than 23 thousand people are victims of human trafficking and the need for exchanging information and best practices are essential to help eliminate this problem.
