flag Taiwan keeps Tier 1 status in U.S. trafficking report for 16th year despite ongoing labor exploitation concerns.

flag Taiwan maintains its Tier 1 ranking in the U.S. flag Trafficking in Persons Report for the 16th straight year, meeting minimum standards under U.S. law to combat human trafficking. flag The U.S. State Department noted increased convictions, expanded victim services, and investigations into forced labor, particularly in commercial sectors. flag However, challenges remain, including insufficient prosecutions, incomplete victim identification, and inadequate protections for migrant workers, especially in the distant water fishing fleet. flag Regulatory gaps, such as limited job mobility and weak labor oversight, contribute to exploitation risks. flag Taiwan’s fish products remain on the U.S. Department of Labor’s list of goods made with forced or child labor.
