Illegal Recruitment

Illegal recruitment refers to the practice of luring or deceiving individuals into forced labor or exploitation under false pretenses. In the context of human trafficking, illegal recruitment is a common tactic used by traffickers to recruit vulnerable individuals, such as those who are seeking employment opportunities or are in need of financial support. Traffickers may use fraudulent job offers, misrepresent working conditions or wages, or charge exorbitant fees for job placement as a means of controlling and exploiting victims. Illegal recruitment can take place within a country or across borders, and may involve the use of fraudulent documents or the confiscation of travel documents to prevent victims from leaving.
