Caesar Park Hotel
SUMMARY
Globalization, as well as restrictions on legal migration undoubtedly creates a strong market for services that facilitate illegal migration and thus increases the risk for people to be trafficked.
The trafficking of human beings, especially involving women and children, that are particularly vulnerable, is a serious violation of human rights, such as human's dignity, and freedom, which effects are devastating for the victims.
Facing the seriousness of the problem and the increasing of its perception on the world context, it's essential to incentive the debate, not only in national but also international level, as trafficking in persons involves, most of the time, transnational activities.
It is estimated that trafficking of human beings reach more than US$ 7 billions in profits a year, and that almost 2 million women and children are held in sexual servitude all over the world, but one can notice the lack of empirical data about the subject.
In comparative terms, nowadays, trafficking of human beings' profits are only inferior to drugs and weapons'.
