Insights by Echo AI
The Republic of Moldova has seen a rise in human trafficking cases, with over 100 victims identified in recent years. Most are foreign migrant workers, primarily from Asia, who are exploited in construction and clothing factories. Authorities warn that many cases go unreported due to difficulty in detection. In the first half of 2026 alone, 32 victims were identified, with 27 adults and 5 children. Traffickers are increasingly using the internet to recruit victims.
