Resumen original: A trafficked person is someone who is transferred across borders or within a state for the purposes of slavery or servitude. The crime of trafficking is generally characterised by three elements:

• the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or reception of persons;

• the threat or use of force or various forms of non-violent coercion such as fraud or deception;

• exploitation, predominantly for forced labour in the construction, agriculture and domestic sectors as well as for begging, prostitution and various forms of sexual exploitation.

It is the exploitative purpose that is at the core of trafficking and distinguishes it from other crimes.
