Armenian Government Making Progress in Fight Against Human Trafficking, But More Work Needed
The Armenian government is taking significant steps to combat human trafficking but falls short of meeting minimum standards. Efforts include stronger investigation and prosecution of cases, improved victim protection, and awareness campaigns. However, areas such as support for survivors and verification of claims need improvement. Both within the country and abroad, Armenian men, women, and children are exploited for forced labor and sex trafficking. Some government officials are implicated in trafficking-related crimes. While progress has been made, more work is needed to combat human trafficking in Armenia.
