Summary/Abstract: Although human trafficking can take very different forms and does not consider gender or age, studies have shown that adolescents have a higher degree of risk, the most vulnerable categories being children aged 14-17 years, especially female gender. As a result, a series of studies have been undertaken to establish adequate solutions to prevent this scourge. In this context, our research aimed to analyze the extent to which the parent-pupil-teacher trio can be considered an active tool for preventing human trafficking among high school pupils. The article presents the results of a quantitative study carried out at the level of Dambovita county of Romania, on a representative sample of high school pupils, a study that analyzed as items: the communication between adolescent and parents regarding the adolescent’s friends, the trusted person for the adolescent, the parent’s interest in the adolescent’s school situation and emotional support relationships.
