What if the ‘criminal’ was a victim all along?

Thousands across Asia have been trafficked into scam compounds and forced to commit cyber fraud, gambling scams, and online crimes — under threat, coercion, and violence. They are not criminals. They are victims of trafficking for forced criminality.

Look beyond the crime. See the exploitation behind it.

This is Noor's story.*

She was promised a job abroad — a chance to give her children a better future. Instead, she was held against her will and sexually exploited.

This is what trafficking really looks like.

How do traffickers trap victims?

They often don't use force, they use false promises, manipulation, and trust to exploit their victims. Knowing the warning signs can help prevent trafficking and protect those at risk.

What are the different forms of trafficking?

Human trafficking rarely looks the way we expect it to. It does not always begin with chains or abduction. Recognising these forms of exploitation is the first step to prevention.

What is human trafficking?

It is not just exploitation, it is a serious criminal offence! The Prevention of Trafficking in Persons Act, 2018 provides the legal framework to combat human trafficking in Pakistan, with stronger protections for women and children.

Awareness saves lives. Recognize the signs and speak up!

Launching July 15th 🔊

Human trafficking hides in plain sight — in false job offers, in promises of a better life, in silence that goes unquestioned. It doesn't always look like what you think.

This July, we're launching a campaign to change that.

🔍 Know the facts
✋ Resist deception
🛡️ Recognise the signs
🤝 Protect lives and futures

Awareness is protection and silence is what traffickers count on.

Follow along from July 15th. 👣

Empowering youth to lead the fight against human trafficking.

Through its partnership with Shaheed Benazir Bhutto Women University, CFHR successfully administered a Legal Clinic on the Prevention of Human Trafficking in Peshawar (January–April). The initiative engaged 8 outstanding students, equipping them with foundational knowledge on trafficking in persons and strengthening their capacity as youth advocates.

These trained advocates went on to create meaningful community impact, reaching 99 individuals (81 women and 18 men) through grassroots awareness efforts.

Building informed, resilient communities starts at the local level. When young people are empowered with knowledge and purpose, they become catalysts for change.

We are honoured to participate in the Comparative & International Education Society (CIES) 2026 Conference — the largest and oldest of 47 comparative and international education societies worldwide.

Held from March 28 to April 1, 2026, in San Francisco, this year’s conference, “Re-examining Education and Peace in a Divided World,” brought together global conversations on the role of education in shaping more just and peaceful societies.

Our presentation focused on “Building Bridges to Peaceful Coexistence: Advancing Educational Equality for Climate-Induced Migrants in Pakistan.” Seher Aftab presented emerging findings from our ongoing study, “Tracing Child Migrants’ Education Access, Continuity, and Quality Amidst Climate-Induced Disruptions in Pakistan.” The study examines how climate-induced migration shapes children’s access to education, continuity in learning, and the quality of their educational experiences — with these insights informing broader discussions on inclusion, belonging, and ultimately, peaceful coexistence.
