About organ trafficking
What is organ trafficking?
The illegal removal, sale, or transplantation of human organs, most often targeting people in desperate financial circumstances who are deceived or coerced into giving up organs.
How does SlaveryMap document organ trafficking cases?
Cases come from public reporting: credible news outlets, law enforcement and court records, and reports from established NGOs. New cases are reviewed by the SlaveryMap team before they publish; cases carried over from the original 2008–2016 map are labeled as archive cases. Every location is generalized to city or region level to protect survivors.
