Protect yourself and do not become a victim!
Human trafficking is one of the most serious crimes against human beings. In the case of human trafficking, the person is rather observed as an object rather than a human.
Smuggling of people is a crime against the state, and the smuggled person is not the victim. However, the smuggled person can easily fall into the trap and become a victim of trafficking.
