Help for Victims of Human Trafficking

Human trafficking is a serious crime- The perpetrator places a victim in a subordinate position and exploits them for financial or other gain. Breaking away from exploitation and recovering from it can be difficult for a person who has fallen victim to human trafficking. A victim has the right to receive assistance. In Finland, victims of human trafficking are helped by the authorities and organisations. The National Assistance System for Victims of Human Trafficking (NAS) is an authority that helps victims of human trafficking and provides advice on matters related to human trafficking.

Are you a victim of human trafficking?
Help is available!

You can get help from the state as well as from NGOs (non-governmental organisations). Depending on your situation, help may include for example safe housing, health care services, guidance and legal aid. A victim of human trafficking has special rights in Finland.

You can contact helpers to talk about your situation, and to find out how you can be helped. All information about you and your case will be kept secret and handled in strict confidence. Contacting will not bind you to anything.
