Doha, Qatar: Qatar remains one of the safest and most committed countries in the world when it comes to protecting individuals from all forms of human trafficking.

Through strong laws, active enforcement, and ongoing public awareness efforts, the country continues to take firm steps to prevent exploitation and ensure the safety and dignity of everyone within its borders

“Despite Qatar’s strategic location and its capacity to attract hundreds of thousands of workers, as well as being a tourism hub, it remains one of the safest and most effective countries in terms of protection against all forms of human trafficking,” said Secretary-General of the National Human Rights Committee (NHRC) H E Sultan bin Hassan Al-Jamali said at the opening ceremony of a workshop held in Doha yesterday.

He said that this is attributed to the country’s advancement in legislation, public policies, and administrative and institutional measures, including preventive actions such as establishing visa centers in labor-exporting countries.

Al-Jamali noted that the NHRC diligently monitors and follows up on emerging challenges in this area, contributes with insights on legislation and policies, and plays a role in raising public awareness about the dangers of human trafficking.
