5. Hungary
This year, Hungary, the number 5 on our list of worst countries in Europe for human trafficking is ranked as Tier 2 Watchlist, after being continually categorized as Tier 2 for the past six years. It is definitely a signal for the government of this country to approach the issue more seriously. The US report notes that asylum-seekers, undereducated minors, and Roma, among others, are groups especially susceptible to being trafficked. Women and children are subject to sex trafficking in the country and abroad. Furthermore, there have been recorded cases of disabled individuals who are sold for sexual exploitation.
