I understood that human trafficking is one of the most harmful crimes that can carry either a women, children or men which is to become fashionable in recent times .This is about taking them to other borders or even within the same , where most often deceive and promise them a better life or to fulfill their dreams. These people are forced into prostitution , slavery, to give their organs to be sold among many other illegal crimes , where they lose their rights as human beings.
