HUMAN TRAFFICKING
Human trafficking is a modern-day slavery. And if you don't believe that we are still talking about slavery in the 21st century –think again! There are over 27 million human trafficking victims globally – the highest number of slaves in human history.

Bulgaria is unfortunately second in the EU in numbers of trafficked people. A few main approaches traffickers use to lure victims are:
Fake job offers, mainly for jobs abroad. When the person arrives, she finds that the conditions are different from the ones advertised in the job offer – often her ID is taken away and she's forced to do things against her will (labor or sexual exploitation)
Lover boy – the trafficker starts courting the victim, pretending to be falling in love with her. When he earns her trust he proposes that they go together to a foreign country where he sells her, mostly for sexual exploitation
The Internet (and especially social networking sites) is the most used tool by traffickers for selection and research of the potential victims.
In Europe, 75% of all victims are being trafficked for the purpose of sexual exploitation.
Becoming a victim of trafficking is extremely dangerous as only 1% of all victims will ever be rescued.
