A stable democracy since 1990, Chile is one of the most flourishing economies in Latin America. Its relative prosperity makes the country an attractive destination for migrant workers from the region and beyond, exposing it to human trafficking.
The 2013 US State Department report on human trafficking identified Chile as "a source, transit, and destination country for men, women, and children subjected to sex trafficking and forced labor".
Beginning in 2013, IDLO supports the Chilean authoritie in their anti-trafficking efforts.
