Criminal Organizations and Women Trafficking

Human trafficking is undoubtedly an insult to human dignity and an ominous crime against humans and humanity. It is a serious problem for all countries which should be considered at national and regional levels. Nowhere in the world is immune to this phenomenon and its destructive effects. High profit is the main issue which has encouraged criminal organizations to engage in women trafficking during the past few years. Whereas narcotics are only used once, humans can be taken advantage of frequently. In fact, criminal organizations are well aware that potential benefits of this form of smuggling are very high with a lower chance of being prosecuted. They reckon on the influence of those who can help them with women trafficking such as diplomats, senior agents….
