According to the U.S. State Department's 2023 TIP report, Austria ranks as a Tier 1 country (85). TRAFF-PRACTICE data confirms that Austria continues to be a destination and transit country for the sex trafficking and forced labour of foreign nationals (KMM-CODER COMMENT). It notes that while the government meets the minimum standards, it investigated fewer trafficking cases and gaps remained in the identification of labor trafficking victims and of victims among vulnerable populations, particularly children. The government also does not maintain a standardized law enforcement database on investigations, prosecutions, convictions, and sentencing. Both factors suggest a lack of oversight which may contribute to potentially undetected trafficking and more lax enforcement...more
