Colombia is a major source country for women and girls subjected to trafficking in persons. Continued armed violence in Colombia has displaced many communities, making them vulnerable to human trafficking. Members of gangs and organized criminal networks force their relatives and acquaintances, – typically women and children – into conditions of forced prostitution and forced labor, including forced work in the illegal drug trade. Colombia also is a destination for foreign child sex tourists, particularly coastal cities such as Cartagena and Barranquilla.
