HEAL Trafficking Submits Information for the 2024 Trafficking in Persons Report

In January 2024, HEAL Trafficking solicited information from its network of greater than 4000
professionals and human trafficking survivors in more than 50 countries about barriers to caring
for trafficked persons who interact with health care in their country, the strengths of their
country’s response to trafficking. Responses were received from 12 countries in addition to the
United States; the responses came from North America, Africa, South America, Europe,
Australia, and Asia. In many cases, there was one respondent per country so these should not
be considered representative. Brief summaries of these responses are included following this
introduction. The summaries are not intended to convey the opinion of HEAL Trafficking, but
rather to summarize the facts shared by respondents.
