The Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) has urged government and civil society organisations to take serious action against human trafficking in South Africa.

The report further argues that, "All documented cases in this last category are women trafficked for both sexual and labour exploitation." It also identified the albino community as vulnerable to human traffickers for the harvesting of body parts, due to the belief that a white skin has potent powers.
