    There is no price on a human life.     Every year, more than 7,000 people become victims of human trafficking in the EU. A human tragedy exploited for ruthless profit.     Today, the revised 🇪🇺 Anti-Trafficking Directive enters into force, with stronger rules to prevent and combat this crime, such as:     ⛓️💥 providing stronger tools for public authorities to investigate and prosecute new forms of exploitations,   ⛓️💥 common procedures among the EU countries to address emerging issues,  ⛓️💥 better support to victims and stricter criminalisation.     Human trafficking is a crime against humanity.  There is no place for it in our Union.   It is high time we end it.     Learn more about our fight against human trafficking ➡️ https://europa.eu/!3dFhhb    #EuropeanUnion #SecurityEU
