US Report Places Kenya on Tier 2 List for Human Trafficking - September 2025

The U.S. Department of State's 2025 Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report has placed Kenya on its Tier 2 list. This ranking indicates that while the government does not fully meet the minimum anti-trafficking standards, it is making significant efforts toward compliance. A recent US report indicates that Kenya remains a significant hub for human trafficking, despite making "significant efforts" to combat the crime. The report highlights persistent gaps, including limited victim protection services and a failure to act against complicit officials. Kenya's placement on the Tier 2 list has been repeated.
