Peru is a source, transit and destination country for men, women, boys and girls who are victims of human trafficking. By means of threats and lies, many people are still being recruited for forced labor, sexual exploitation
and slavery.
USAID provides technical assistance to the Peruvian government in implementing the new Counter-Trafficking in Persons (C-TIP) National Policy approved in July 2021.
The activity strengthens the Government of Peru’s ability to combat human trafficking. USAID provides technical assistance to the interagency commission that coordinates Peru’s anti-trafficking efforts to prevent, prosecute and sanction human trafficking. USAID also supports legal and psychological assistance to trafficking survivors and their families through its implementing partner Capital Humano y Social Alternativo’s (CHS) Center for Legal and Psychological Assistance.
