Human trafficking in Egypt
Egypt ratified the 2000 UN TIP Protocol in March 2004.[1]
Egypt is a source, transit, and destination country for women and children who are subjected to trafficking in persons, specifically forced labor and forced prostitution.
The U.S. State Department's Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons placed the country in "Tier 2" in 2017,[2] meaning that its government does not fully meet the minimum standards described in the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA), but is making significant efforts toward meeting those standards.[3] The country was placed on the Tier 2 Watch List in 2023.[4]
In 2023, the Organised Crime Index noted the prevalence of human trafficking and organ trafficking.[5]
