IOM AND COUNTER TRAFFICKING IN RWANDA

IOM in close collaboration with the Ministry of Justice commissioned the first ever research on human trafficking undertaken by Never Again Rwanda. According to the research findings, Rwanda is a transit country, and to a lesser extent, a country of origin of human trafficking (NAR, 2019). Official data from the Department of Immigration and Emigration (DGIE) show that the majority

of the suspected human trafficking victims identified were from Burundi (62.7%), DRC (15%), Rwanda (13.6%).
