ACCORDING TO INTERNATIONAL DEFINITION, HUMAN TRAFFICKING MEANS: “THE RECRUITMENT, TRANSPORTATION, TRANSFER, HARBOURING OR PURCHASE OF PERSONS FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF EXPLOITATION.”
Typically, human beings are being disposed of, as if they were goods or objects which can be bought or sold irrationally. Trafficking exploits human beings for income, whether through sex, forced labor, or human organs.
Traffickers take advantage of poverty, lack of prospects, and hope for a better future, by tricking and luring their victims into other countries.
Whether they emigrate legally or illegally, they then go with false promises of work or prospective marriages.
Upon their arrival, the victims are coerced into dependence through debt bondage, violence or drugs, therefore becoming “exploited” goods.
They are deprived of their personal rights, freedom of speech, independence and self-respect.
