Although no victims have been formally identified in Monaco since the entry into force of the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings in 2016, the risk of labour exploitation continues to raise concerns, particularly in sectors such as domestic work, construction, hotels and restaurants, and in work on private yachts. There are also concerns about the possible sexual exploitation of people who come to Monaco occasionally, notably for important events.

Nearly half of the victims were trafficked for the purpose of labour exploitation, followed by sexual exploitation (25%) and forced marriage (21%). Since the publication of GRETA’s previous evaluation report in 2019, Finland has made progress in a number of areas, including legislative amendments to the procedure for the identification of victims of trafficking and the permanent establishment of a Government anti-trafficking coordinator.
