In the face of complicated developments in human trafficking as criminals commit the crime with many sophisticated methods and tricks and in new forms , its is very important for in-charge forces to early detect signs of crime so as to stop or/and launch investigation of human trafficking cases on time.
Vietnam's Ministry of Public Security reiterates that preventing and combating trafficking in persons is not only the responsibility of the police force, but also requires the participation, coordination and concerted effort of all agencies, ministries, branches, organizations, people as well as support of international organizations.
The capacity building workshop aimed to equip officials with skills to detect and handle human trafficking cases, particularly trafficking in persons for the purpose of forced labor, forced organ harvesting and online forced criminality or other inhumane purposes.
