Human trafficking is the most common form of modern slavery. In the last decades it became a big problem, both nationally and internationally and includes slavery, forced labour, violence, abuse of trust, physical and psychological aggression of the person, being fully justified the belief that human trafficking is a form of slavery at the beginning of the millennium. Human trafficking is a complex issue, pretty difficult to be grasped in a definition. It involves many forms of exploitation, including the rights violations by forced labour, the exploitation of the emigrant workers, the sexual exploitation, violence and discrimination against women, and the labour, sexual or other forms of exploitation of the children. It refers to the recruitment, transportation, transfer, "ownership" of persons by threat, and the use of force or of other coercive forms, fraud or fraudulence, abuse of power, by which a person takes control of other person(s), in order to exploit it. Thus, police who is neither sensitive nor trained enough to become aware of the fact that those are victims of trafficking, put them in detention centres. On the traffic market supply the conditions that facilitate it must be fought against by efforts on the alerting of the community about the dangers of the human trafficking, taxation and expansion of the economic and educational opportunities for the vulnerable groups, to promote the equal access to education, educating people about their legal rights they have, as well as to create real opportunities for a better life in general. For the traffickers, the penalties should be much stronger, along with the fight against corruption, traffic routes should be identified and banned to better protect the victims of trafficking. Local, national and regional efforts must be coordinated against the human trafficking, and the governments must coordinate their necessary support to combat the trafficking.
