WORLD DAY AGAINST TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS 2026
“Trapped behind the scam”
Human trafficking is taking on new and increasingly complex forms.
Across the world, people are being deceived by fake job advertisements, transported to scam compounds, and forced into online fraud operations. Behind romance scams, cryptocurrency fraud and other cyber-enabled schemes are people who may be experiencing coercion, violence, surveillance and debt bondage. This year, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) is highlighting 'trafficking for forced criminality'; a growing form of exploitation closely connected to cybercrime, financial fraud, money laundering and corruption. Victims are not criminals. They are people being exploited.
On this World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, let us recognize the evolving forms of trafficking and strengthen our collective commitment to protecting survivors and preventing exploitation.
📢 Learn. Speak up. Share
Take a moment to learn more about trafficking for forced criminality and how people are being exploited through scam operations. Share this information with your networks to help raise awareness and ensure that more people can recognize the warning signs.
Together, we can help ensure that those trapped behind the scam are seen, protected and supported.

Our thematic areas

Treatment, Care and Support for HIV infected and vulnerable women and girls

We work to ensure women and children living with or affected by HIV/AIDS have access to medical/treatment support, education/income generation support, compassionate care, and access to stigma-free health services. Through community home based care and care taker mobilization, we empower them to live with dignity, resilience, and hope.

Advocacy, Awareness and Policy Engagement

We advocate for inclusive, rights-based policies that address the intersecting challenges faced by women living with HIV/AIDS, survivors of trafficking, and GBV victims. Through awareness campaigns and stakeholder engagement, we challenge stigma, shift harmful norms, and influence systemic change at both community and policy levels.

Capacity Building and Empowerment

We invest in the leadership, skills, and economic independence of marginalized women through targeted trainings, mentorship, and livelihood opportunities. By strengthening individual and collective capacity, we foster long-term empowerment and enable survivors to realize their guaranteed rights and become advocates and agents of change.

Prevention, rescue and rehabilitation in Human Trafficking

SMS works at the grassroots and systemic levels to prevent trafficking through education, empowerment, and community vigilance. We support survivors with safe rescue/coordination, trauma-informed rehabilitation, and holistic reintegration into society, ensuring that their safety, rights, and dignity are upheld.
