Our mission is to combat human trafficking among third country nationals in Greece.

Every human being deserves respect, dignity and equality. Trafficking of Human Beings (THB) is a fast-growing crime that impacts millions of individuals globally, representing a serious violation of human rights.

 Together, we can stand against it.

About us 

PROCAP aspires to establish a robust protection and support system for third-country nationals who are (presumed) victims of trafficking or vulnerable to being  trafficked, empowering them to access their rights while also advocating for the prevention, early identification, and response to human trafficking.

 

 

The Challenge

Greece, a key entry point for asylum seekers and displaced populations in Europe, faces significant challenges in combating human trafficking. Vulnerable groups, particularly those fleeing conflict and persecution, are at high risk of exploitation. Despite the EU’s Anti-Trafficking Directive, gaps in victims’ protection and criminal proceedings persist. The war in Ukraine has worsened the situation, increasing trafficking risks, especially for women and children. Addressing these issues requires urgent and coordinated action.  

 

 

 

Greece – Human Trafficking in Numbers

According to the 2023 National Reference Mechanism (NRM), 561 reports were submitted to NRM, a significant increase from the 259 reports recorded in 2022.

The majority of these cases are women under25 years old coming outside of EU.

Around 54% of the cases are asylum seekers.
