Violence against girls and adolescents

On July 30, international bodies and local authorities marked World Day Against Trafficking in Persons by focusing on the rising threat of violence, recruitment fraud, and deception targeting girls and adolescents, particularly through digital platforms.

In the Dominican Republic, the specialized prosecutor's office dedicated to combating human trafficking is actively monitoring these evolving threats. The global observance highlights how traffickers increasingly exploit online spaces to ensnare vulnerable young populations through modern deceptive tactics.
