Forced begging

box6Forced begging mainly involves women, children and disabled persons.Criminal nets organize the begging activities by obliging the victims to ask for charity and by controlling locations, schedules and procedures. They confiscate the proceeds, and keep the victims in a vulnerable and subjection condition.

In most cases, exploiters use violence or threats in order to punish or intimidate the victims who are not able to collect the requested amount of money.
