A UK-funded initiative, delivered by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in collaboration with Costa Rican partners, aims to enhance the country’s response to human trafficking. The project, which included community education sessions in Los Chiles, focused on identifying vulnerable individuals, preventing exploitation, and improving safeguarding measures across sectors. It involved government institutions, the tourism industry, and local communities, with support from the National Coalition Against Trafficking in Persons (CONATT), the Costa Rican Tourism Institute (ICT), and the Ministry of Public Security. The initiative concluded with a World Day Against Trafficking in Persons event on 3 August, during which a new Spanish-language guide for tourism sector workers was launched to detect and report trafficking. The British Ambassador emphasized the importance of coordinated, people-centred approaches to combat modern slavery.
