Article Content
- •Syria faces a critical human trafficking crisis, especially affecting women and children.

- •The overlap of trafficking and smuggling complicates efforts to address these issues.
Human trafficking remains a critical issue in Syria and Türkiye, exacerbated by ongoing conflicts and economic instability. In Syria, internally displaced individuals, particularly women and children, face heightened risks of sex trafficking and forced labor, with armed groups recruiting minors as soldiers. Türkiye serves as both a destination and transit hub for trafficking, with many victims being foreign nationals, including Syrians. Reports indicate that Syrian women and girls are particularly vulnerable to sexual exploitation near the border. The overlap between trafficking and human smuggling complicates mitigation efforts, as smuggling networks expand due to the large refugee population and strategic location of Türkiye. The situation is further aggravated by the involvement of transnational criminal organizations exploiting vulnerable populations. The urgent need for comprehensive strategies to combat these issues is evident, given the scale and complexity of the trafficking networks involved.
