Criminal Law

People Trafficking

A major international crime, human trafficking involves buying and selling individuals and using them for profit. This crime, which happens everywhere in the world, can affect people of various genders, ages, and origins. To fool, coerce, and deceive their victims, traffickers use violence, dishonest employment agencies, and false promises of education and work possibilities.

Dispute over immigration and labor laws

Disputes over immigration and labor laws can also arise in cases of people trafficking. For example, victims of trafficking may be entitled to certain protections under immigration law, such as temporary visas or asylum status, in recognition of the harm they have suffered. Employers who are found to have engaged in forced labor may also face penalties under labor laws.

 

The organised networks or individuals responsible for this lucrative crime prey on those who are weak, in need, or just looking for a better life. Human trafficking is described as “the recruitment, transport, transfer, harbouring or receipt of a person by such means as threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, abduction, fraud or deception for the purpose of exploitation” in the UN Trafficking in Persons Protocol, which is an addendum to the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime.

LegaMart equips victims of trafficking with the knowledge, dedication, and tenacity they need to be successful in their fight for justice.

Employment contracts: In some cases, employers involved in people trafficking may use fraudulent employment contracts to lure victims into accepting exploitative working conditions. Disputes may arise over the validity of these contracts and whether they accurately reflect the terms and conditions of employment.

 

Worker exploitation: Workers who are brought into a country illegally may be vulnerable to exploitation by employers who threaten them with deportation or other consequences if they speak out. These workers may not be aware of their rights under labor laws, and disputes may arise over wages, benefits, and working conditions.
