@2196 Trafficking in persons
Algeria
current situation: Algeria is a transit and destination
country for men, women, and children from sub-Saharan Africa and
Asia trafficked for forced labor and sexual exploitation; many
victims willingly migrate to Algeria en route to European countries
with the help of smugglers, where they are often forced into
prostitution, labor, and begging to pay off their smuggling debt;
armed militants reportedly traffic women for sexual exploitation and
involuntary servitude, and children may be trafficked for forced
labor as domestic servants or street vendors
tier rating: Tier 2 Watch List - Algeria took no steps to assess the
scope of trafficking in the country and reported no investigations
or prosecutions for trafficking offenses this year
