Brunei has maintained its focus on combating human trafficking through sustained public awareness campaigns and capacity-building programs for law enforcement, according to recent reports from local media and international organizations.
The country's efforts include training for police and immigration officers to identify and assist victims, as well as public outreach to educate communities about the risks and signs of trafficking. These initiatives are part of Brunei's compliance with the U.S. Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report standards.
In 2025, Brunei was placed on the Tier 2 Watch List in the U.S. TIP Report, indicating that while the government is making significant efforts, it does not fully meet the minimum standards. Authorities have since increased prosecutions and victim protection measures.
Non-governmental organizations in Brunei have also contributed by providing shelter and legal aid to trafficking survivors. The government has collaborated with these groups to ensure victims receive necessary support.
As of June 2026, Brunei continues to work with international partners to strengthen its anti-trafficking framework, focusing on prevention, protection, and prosecution.
