Uganda was the main source country for victims of trafficking as well as transit and destination country for victims of domestic and transnational trafficking for both juveniles and adults. 

Irregular and unguided labour migration was the most contributing factor for trafficking of Ugandans to foreign countries and foreign nationals to or through Uganda. Majority of the victims were recruited in the trafficking trap through deceptive means some of whom were aided with the use of fraudulent travel documents.
