Most of them were women, and a significant proportion were engaged in sex work (48 out of 82).<\/p>\n The profile of the victims is very varied, Fanie Wirth of the FIZ told Swiss public radio SRF. She said they range in age from very young to over 60 and come from more than 80 countries, with a large share from Eastern Europe. The common denominator is often the absence of education and work. The increase in cases is also due to greater awareness on the subject, said the FIZ.<\/p>\n \n More<\/p>\n More <\/p>\n Swiss Politics\n <\/p>\n Why victims of human trafficking need better protection <\/p>\n This content was published on <\/p>\n Mar 9, 2023 <\/p>\n Those exploited abroad are excluded from assistance for victims in Switzerland.
