"The adoption of Malta’s first National Anti-Trafficking Strategy was the expression of political will to reform the country’s anti-trafficking architecture and address new challenges, such as the increase in trafficking for the purpose of labour exploitation and the use of information and communication technologies to recruit and exploit victims."

"Trafficking in human beings remains a highly lucrative crime, affecting thousands of individuals, primarily women and girls who are trafficked for sexual exploitation. We must all do more to help them. I hope the project will not only provide benefits in Malta but also provide a powerful model for others to emulate.”
MALTA ANTI-TRAFFICKING STRATEGY TOOLKIT
The Anti-Trafficking Strategy Toolkit is designed to assist all stakeholders involved in combatting trafficking in human beings in Malta by providing a comprehensive set of practical resources to strengthen their efforts. The Toolkit includes the National Strategy and Action Plan on Combatting Trafficking in Human Beings in Malta (2024-2030) and a series of digital resource cards that cover key implementation tools.
