ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM: INSTITUTIONAL FACTORS THAT FACILITATE HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND POTENTIAL PREVENTIVE MEASURES THROUGH COMMUNICATION

Summary/Abstract: The paper identifies the factors which encourage the human trafficking in Romania: corruption, the weakness of state institutions, and lack of adequate social protection measures. The application is performed on a notorious case in Romania: Tandarei case, largely reported in the press, both in the Romanian and in the British press. Around 180 Roma children from poor families were exploited by wealthy members of their community in Tandarei, Ialomi ța County, being transported in UK in order to practice begging and theft. The method of analysis was the study of judiciary documents and files instrumented in this case, for over seven years. Finally, the paper proposes communication and institutional measures in order to ensure the social reintegration of victims and the effective prevention of this phenomenon.
