ATZUM’s Task Force on Human Trafficking has worked for years in cooperation with the Israel police in an effort to arrest and prosecute slavers and traffickers and to close the brothels and discreet apartments where trafficked women are enslaved. As a result of our efforts, the largest ever people-trafficking ring in Israel was recently uncovered. Twelve members of the gang were arrested by police in Tel Aviv on March 8th following a two-year undercover operation.

The suspected traffickers are accused of smuggling hundreds of women from the former Soviet Union into Israel to work in the sex industry.
