Summary

Legislative proposal on preventing and combating trafficking in human beings and protecting its victims. Amendments describe trafficking as a serious crime and gross violation of fundamental rights, address root causes such as poverty, conflict, inequality and gender-based violence, and propose extending the offence to forced marriage, illegal adoption, institution-related trafficking of children in care settings and exploitation linked to surrogacy, while citing the Palermo Convention, the UN Trafficking Protocol and the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking.

In plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
