Victims of Trafficking for Organ Trade
Taxonomy Code: YX-1500.9000-900
Individuals who have been compelled by need or force to provide organs for transplantation, either domestically within their own country or internationally, often in situations where they are being exploited by a trafficker whose objective is to obtain profit in the "organ market". The illegal trade is dominated by kidneys, which are in the greatest demand and the only major organs that can be wholly transplanted with relatively few risks to the life of the donor; but tissue from the liver, lungs and pancreas can be transplanted from living donors. Trafficking for organ trade can be defined as the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, or receipt of a person, either living or deceased, for the purpose of removing one or more of the person's organs, by means of coercion, abduction, deception, abuse of power or a position of vulnerability; or a transfer of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over a person; and the illicit transportation and transplantation of those organs in one or more other persons for profit or any other purpose.
