2025 UN theme: “Human Trafficking is Organised Crime – End the Exploitation.”

This Year’s UN Message Is Clear, Human Trafficking Is Organised Crime.
Human trafficking is not just happening in the shadows. It is being driven by powerful, organised criminal networks that profit from people’s desperation—and target victims around the world.

Be Slavery Free  focusses on what truly lies at the heart of trafficking: hope—and how traffickers exploit it.

People don’t fall into trafficking because they’re careless.
They are targeted precisely because they’re hopeful.
Hope for a job.
Hope for safety.
Hope for a better future.
And for organised criminal networks, that hope becomes a tool of exploitation—and a source of enormous profit.

SCAMS
One of the most dangerous frontlines of this crisis – Scam compounds.
In Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, and the Philippines, tens of thousands of people are being trafficked into scam compounds—high-security buildings where they’re forced to commit online fraud under threat of torture or death.

Over 100,000 people are estimated to be enslaved in Cambodia alone. These operations fuel a $40 billion criminal economy across Southeast Asia.

Scams are hurting Australians too. 
In 2023, Australians lost $2.7 billion to scams—many linked to these very compounds. Romance scams. Fake investment schemes. Phishing attacks.  Many of these scams are carried out by trafficked individuals, forced to target others just to stay alive.

Organised Crime Demands Organised Justice
As the UN reminds us this year, trafficking must be treated as what it really is: organised crime. Criminal groups are using:

  • Migration flows
  • Global supply chains
  • Legal and economic loopholes
  • Digital platforms

to traffic people across borders at scale—for forced labour, sexual exploitation, and coerced criminal activity.

Stronger laws and oversight are key to stopping organised crime from profiting from exploitation.
