Human trafficking is a growing problem, both here in Denmark and throughout the world, and has over the past few years become one of the fastest growing criminal industries in the world.

The Danish government's national Action Plan to Combat Trafficking in Human Beings has brought into focus this growing social problem and implemented a number of initiatives to support and assist victims of human trafficking in Denmark.

The national Action Plan has been signed by the Ministry for Gender Equality, the Danish Immigration Service, the Danish Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark.

80 million Danish kroner have been allocated to national activities aimed at combating human trafficking. These resources are supplemented by aid funds allocated to projects aimed at preventing human trafficking in the developing world, in addition to financing from the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Neighbourhood Program.

The Danish Centre against Human Trafficking is responsible for the implementation of numerous key elements of the national Action Plan. Read more about the Danish Centre against Human Trafficking here.
