The reform of the EU Anti-Trafficking Directive came into effect in July 2024. By renewing the 2011 directive, the European Commission (EU-COM) is responding to changes in the socio-political and economic conditions of human trafficking and at the same time to findings from evaluations of the regulations in the EU and the member states. The KOK Information Service presents the most important changes thematically and classifies them from perspective of KOK. The results show that while some of the approaches of the reform of the EU Anti-Trafficking Directive are positive, the reform as a whole has missed the opportunity to thoroughly strengthen the rights of trafficked persons.
