DEFINING TRAFFICKING IN HUMAN BEINGS AND ITS SOCIAL EFFECTS

Summary/Abstract: Trafficking in persons, as a social phenomenon, has a long history, being present throughout the development of mankind. It was first regulated directly and separately from other related phenomena such as sexual exploitation, slavery, etc., only in the year 2000.Most definitions used today by the nations of the world that define this social phenomenon from a legal point of view are inspired from the definition given to it by the United Nations Organization in the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons Especially Women and Children.The social effects of trafficking in persons stretch from the victim to the communities of which they are part, affecting not only the individuals caught up in the phenomenon of trafficking, but also the communities from which they come and even society, as a whole.
