While HopeNow operates with a global perspective, we are based in Copenhagen, Denmark, where we focus on supporting victims of human trafficking and labor exploitation. Between 2021 and 2025, 444 people were identified as victims of human trafficking in Denmark, including children and young people. In 2025 alone, 101 victims were identified, including 78 women and 23 men. The victims identified during this period primarily came from Thailand, Romania, and Ukraine. Sexual exploitation was the most common form of exploitation in 2025, with 55 cases identified, followed by labor exploitation, with 27 cases.
