Moroccan authorities are preparing to release their annual report on human trafficking, which is expected to reveal a rise in cases compared to 2022.
According to preliminary data obtained by Hespress, 110 human trafficking cases were recorded in 2023, involving 171 victims.
This represents an increase of 17 cases and 18 victims compared to 2022 (83 cases, 153 victims).
The report is also expected to address the Al Haouz earthquake’s controversy.
Concerns were raised about potential human trafficking, such as calls for child marriage promoted on social media.
A crisis cell established during the earthquake received 1,749 reports of violations and exploitation. Of these, 34 were suspected to be human trafficking. These cases included 18 reports of photos and videos potentially inciting human trafficking and 16 reports of possible victims.
Authorities confirmed the situation of 14 victims, and trials for those involved are expected.
This data comes amidst ongoing efforts to secure the release of Moroccans trafficked in Myanmar.
