Summary/Abstract: Еvery year thousands of people - most of them women and children from the poorer countries are being exploited, tricked and forced to do things against their will. These people are being mistreated as commodities by the transnational criminal traffic industry. Such criminal groups are growing more and more, earning billions of euros, working with impunity. After drugsbusiness and illegal weapons, human trafficking has become the third most profitable business worldwide. It is mainly due to both the changes which happened in Europe in 1989 and the opening of European borders, which gave many people a chance for a new, peaceful and grateful life. Human trafficking cannot be seen only from a national security point of view, nor as a war against illegal migration. Human trafficking, is most important of all, desecration of human rights.
