HUMAN TRAFFICKING CONSIDERATIONS. EXPLOITATION THROUGH LABOUR AT THE EUROPEAN UNION LEVEL

Summary/Abstract: Trafficking in human beings is one of the most serious forms of crime, which flagrantly violates human rights, having different forms of manifestation, such as sexual exploitation, forced labour or services, slavery, servitude, removal of vital organs etc. At the level of the European Union, this complex phenomenon is approached from the perspective of cross-border organized crime, implying close cooperation between all member states. It is considered a modern form of slavery, which does not take into account gender or age, labour exploitation being the predominant form of exploitation for the purpose of obtaining material advantages. Thus, human trafficking for labour exploitation is on the rise across Europe, affecting women, men and children alike. Greater attention should be paid to children from vulnerable groups, such as street children, children belonging to ethnic minorities or children in state foster care, who have a high index of victimization. Efforts are currently underway to strengthen action against human trafficking for the purpose of labour exploitation
