Sex trafficking in Taiwan

Sex trafficking in Taiwan is human trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation and slavery that occurs in the Taiwan, which is a country of origin, destination, and transit for sexually trafficked persons.

Types of sex trafficking

Victims of sex trafficking include both Taiwanese citizens, primarily women and girls, being trafficked within Taiwan and abroad,[1] as well as foreign victims trafficked into the country.[2][3][4] Children, persons in poverty, and migrants are particularly vulnerable to sex trafficking.[5] Victims are deceived, threatened, or forced into prostitution, and their passports and other documents are often taken.[2][3][5][6] They suffer from physical and psychological abuse and trauma and are typically guarded and or locked up in poor conditions.[1][2][6] Prior to 2022, Taiwan had maintained a tier 1 status of protection against human trafficking for 13 years straight in a series of reports released by the U.S. Department of State.[7]

Male and female traffickers come from all social and economic classes of Taiwan. Traffickers are often members of or facilitated by crime syndicates and gangs.[2] The extent of sex trafficking in Taiwan is difficult to know because of the lack of data, secretive nature of sex trafficking crimes, and other factors.

Non-governmental organizations

The Taipei Women's Rescue Foundation rescues victims of sex trafficking in Taiwan.[4]
