Summary/Abstract: The phenomenon of prostitution is difficult to study for several reasons. Trafficking in women for prostitution sometimes takes on seemingly legal forms, with the persons in question crossing the borders with legal documents. The deeds can be committed by coercion, kidnapping, use of force, fraud, speculation of situations of economic or psychological vulnerability, but also with the consent of the person to be prostituted, based on the promise of a substantial remuneration, and trafficking is denounced by victim only when the trafficker no longer keeps his promise. In relation to the rule of law, networks of traffickers and pimps are also a separate crime factor. Trafficking in human beings by borders is preferred by drug or arms traffickers, because in the first case the risks are considerably lower, human traffickers together with prostitutes who have consented to it, cross the borders legally, without being able to demonstrate the real purpose and intentions of the trip. If we add to all this a perverted moral norm and deficient legal regulations, then we have the picture of a really serious social issue.
