Summary/Abstract: Human trafficking violates one of society's fundamental rights and values – the personal freedom of individuals. This crime has an international character and can affect the interests of multiple countries simultaneously.

The internet provides new opportunities for communication, networking, and information seeking, but it also creates new risks. In this article, we will examine the issue of human trafficking in online environments, as well as its signs and prevention measures.
