Bahrain to mark ‘World Day against Trafficking in Persons’

Bahrain will join the International Community in marking the World Day against Trafficking in Persons, approved by the UN General Assembly in 2013, and observed worldwide every July 30.

Bahrain’s celebration follows its success in proving to the world its serious endeavours to counter such a phenomenon and become a role model in fighting such a crime by international standards.

The kingdom’s major strides in combating trafficking in persons have earned it international praise, as reflected in the US State Department’s 2018 Trafficking in Persons (TIP) report, which upgraded it to Tier 1 status in recognition of its long-standing commitment to combatting human trafficking and reinforcing expatriate workers’ protection.
