Human Trafficking Act

The Human Trafficking Act is a law in the United Kingdom that was passed in 2015. It criminalizes the act of trafficking individuals for the purposes of exploitation, including forced labor and sexual exploitation. The Act also provides protection and support for victims of trafficking, and allows for the prosecution of traffickers. It replaces and consolidates earlier laws on trafficking, and is intended to reflect the UK’s obligations under international human trafficking conventions. The Act also allows for the confiscation of traffickers’ assets and the creation of slavery and trafficking prevention orders.
