Human trafficking: important information for Ukrainian citizens seeking protection in Bulgaria
People fleeing areas of military conflict seeking protection in other countries are extremely vulnerable to involvement in human trafficking and exploitation.
Human trafficking is a serious crime against people, a serious violation of human rights and abuse of human dignity.
Human trafficking always involves the exploitation of victims in various forms:

- Do not disclose your identity documents to anyone other than government officials.
- Do not show how much money you have and do not give your personal belongings, especially your mobile phone to others.
- Always inform your loved ones about where you are and keep in touch with them if possible.
