Child migrants and refugees who are passing through Serbia are facing a great risk of becoming human trafficking victims, as marked at the conference "Children are not for sale" that focused on risks of human trafficking for the purpose of sexual and other forms of exploitation of children and young refugees and migrants.

During 2015, more than 700,000 people passed through the Western Balkan countries in order to reach Europe and find refuge from the war. From the outset of the refugee crisis, NGO Atina has, through its field activities and programmes it carries out - Shelter for the victims of human trafficking - given its contribution in providing protection to the most vulnerable among them.
