Abstract

Human trafficking is an issue that affects vulnerable individuals across the world, and Tanzania is no exception. The country has long been a source, transit, and destination for human trafficking, particularly for women and children who are exploited and used for forced labor, sexual exploitation, forced military servitude, and organ trafficking. Despite Tanzania's efforts to combat trafficking in persons in all of its forms, it remains classified as a Tier 2 country by the United States Department of State's Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report. This classification indicates that while the government has made significant efforts to address human trafficking, it does not fully meet the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking. In the fight against human trafficking, Tanzania's approach, like many countries globally, focuses on three pillars of combating trafficking in persons: prevention, prosecution, and protection. All three pillars are necessary to help eliminate the sources of trafficking, support survivors, and hold traffickers accountable for their crimes.
