TikTok is a popular app launched in 2016 and has become increasingly popular in recent years. Initially, the app primarily attracted Gen Z, most commonly those between 18 and 24. Nevertheless, nowadays, most people using the Internet have had some interaction with TikTok.

TikTok is more than just a platform for entertaining dance and lip-sync videos. It has become a dynamic space where young people can not only express their creativity but also access and share useful information. In fact, the app has become a news outlet and a source of information, marking a significant shift in how young people engage with content and use social media platforms.

This metamorphosis underscores TikTok’s growing impact as a dynamic hub for information exchange, redefining the boundaries between social interaction and news consumption in the digital age.

Moreover, TikTok has proven to be a powerful tool for raising awareness of social and cultural issues. Hashtag challenges and trends are often used to spread messages related to social activism, sustainability, and inclusivity. The platform’s global reach allows users to gain insights into diverse perspectives, fostering a sense of empathy and understanding among younger generations.

Việt Nam considers the fight against human trafficking a top priority, said Minister-Counsellor Nguyễn Hoàng Nguyên, Chargé d’Affaires a.i. of the Permanent Mission of Việt Nam, to the UN, at the United Nations (UN) General Assembly’s high-level session in New York on November 24-26.

The event aimed to review the progress of the “Global Plan of Action to Combat Trafficking in Persons,” which was launched 15 years ago. In his speech, Nguyên highlighted Việt Nam’s recent efforts to fine-tune its legal framework, including amendments to the 2024 Anti-Human Trafficking Law and the integration of anti-trafficking measures into key policies, such as the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration.

He called on the international community to expand safe and legal migration channels, enhance cooperation at all levels, including public-private partnerships, based on shared responsibility and respect for national sovereignty, and accelerate the signing and ratification of the UN Convention against Cybercrime to counter the surge in human trafficking in the digital environment.

Việt Nam will work closely with the UN, its member states, and international organizations to protect individuals and build a faster, fairer, and more humane world, he said.

On the sidelines of the session the same day, Việt Nam joined 43 countries in issuing the “Joint Statement on Combating Technology-Faciliated Trafficking in Persons,” presented by South Korean Ambassador Cha Jihoon. The document highlights growing concerns over human trafficking linked to online fraud schemes and calls for tighter global coordination, greater private sector engagement, and UN mechanisms to more effectively combat rapidly evolving digital crimes.
