According to the 2023 Global Organised Crime Index (GOCI), Guyana is facing several challenges when it comes to combating various illegal activities such as human trafficking.
While the country has been praised for its efforts to combat human trafficking, Guyana faces difficulties in identifying and investigating the crime in remote areas where it is prevalent. Human trafficking is particularly common in mining sites, where women, especially Venezuelan, are forced into the sex trade. Child labour is also a prevalent issue, especially in Amerindian households.
