What do you need to know to avoid being involved in human trafficking online?

Between 2020 and 2024, the National Police of Ukraine recorded 828 criminal offenses under Article 149 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine — “Human Trafficking.” Trafficking has been and remains a pressing problem for our society — especially in times of war.
