Standing Vice Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee Duong Duc Tuan has signed Plan No. 137 dated April 8, 2026 on implementing the anti-human trafficking program for the 2026 to 2030 period with orientation to 2035 in Hanoi.
The plan aims to ensure unified and consistent leadership, direction and implementation of anti-trafficking efforts from the city level to communes, aligned with broader strategies on public order, human security, cybersecurity and socio-economic development.
It emphasizes strengthening social prevention measures in close coordination with socio-economic development programs to improve both material and spiritual living standards for residents.
The plan promotes communication, education on ethics, lifestyle and legal awareness to enhance responsibility among agencies, organizations, businesses, communities, families and individuals in preventing human trafficking.
Authorities will intensify efforts to combat trafficking crimes, especially organized networks, transnational crimes, cyber-related offenses and trafficking for forced labor, along with other violations related to anti trafficking laws.
Efforts will focus on timely rescue, reception, verification and identification of victims to ensure accuracy and effectiveness. Screening and identification processes will be tailored to sectors and target vulnerable groups, including individuals returning from online scam centers.
The city will increase investment in resources and apply advanced scientific and technological achievements to support anti-trafficking work, while mobilizing international financial and technical assistance.
