Trafficking for exploitation in criminal activities, commonly referred to as forced criminality, is a fast growing and underreported dimension of human trafficking. Based on data recorded across the OSCE region, victim detection figures of forced criminality rose from just over 1% of all identified victims in 2018 to 17% in 2024.
