In its resolution 2388, the Security Council reiterated its deep concern that, despite its condemnation of acts of trafficking in persons in areas affected by armed conflict, such acts continued to occur. The Council also expressed grave concern over the high number of women and children subjected to trafficking in areas affected by armed conflict and the abduction of children in conflict situations. The present report follows up on the implementation of Security Council resolution 2388 and on the progress made in the past 12 months.
