Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia bear the burden of staggering rates of human trafficking. Sexual exploitation, forced labour, forced criminal exploitation, forced/sham marriages — Baltics face a multitude of horrors, including the despicable exploitation of children.

Within the thought-provoking and gripping collection of stories, this online exhibition aims to shed light on the dire circumstances of those voiceless victims trapped in the clutches of modern slavery. The stories are not mere products of imagination; they serve as powerful testimonies of those who survived trafficking, manipulation, and violence.
