What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The US State Department moved Cabo Verde up to Tier 2 in its 2026 Trafficking in Persons Report. This upgrade followed a downgrade to the Watch List in 2025 because the country showed no prosecutions or identified victims. The report credits the government in Praia with opening a trafficking prosecution.
