Minister Fonseka

‘Let us stand united in dismantling trafficking networks’

“On this World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, the Republic of Seychelles stands in solidarity with the international community in reaffirming our collective commitment to eradicating one of the most egregious violations of human rights human trafficking.

The 2025 theme, ‘Human Trafficking is Organised Crime – End the Exploitation’, underscores the complex and systemic nature of this crime. Trafficking in persons is not an isolated occurrence; it is frequently orchestrated by sophisticated criminal networks that transcend borders and, alarmingly, infiltrate our own communities.
