Human trafficking is the third largest form of trafficking in the world, after drugs and weapons. Its market is estimated at 150 billion dollars per year. According to the Global Slavery Index, this form of modern slavery affects 40 million people every year. In Belgium, estimates from this Global Index indicated around 23,000 victims in 2018, while human trafficking continues to expand. The majority of victims therefore remain part of a large \u201chidden figure.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Bor\u00e9alis case shows that economic exploitation is happening right at our doorstep and is not limited to trafficking on construction sites located in non-democratic countries such as Qatar. This issue should be considered a political priority, as human trafficking is increasing in the context of wars and\/or crises that deepen the growing precariousness of populations.<\/p>\n

The cleaning sector is not spared: victims of human trafficking are found among domestic cleaners, industrial and corporate cleaning staff, window washers, household staff of foreign diplomats\u2026 and even some \u201cau pairs.\u201d This reality was demonstrated through the investigative work of journalist Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Loore in the cleaning sector, awarded the \u201cSamilia Prize\u201d in 2021.
