Human Smuggling

Human smuggling is the illegal movement of people across borders, often for financial gain. Unlike human trafficking, which involves coercion and exploitation, smuggling typically involves individuals seeking to enter a country illegally, often to escape dire circumstances or seek better opportunities. Smugglers facilitate this journey, often placing migrants at significant risk during transit. While smuggling can provide a way out of difficult situations, it can also expose individuals to dangerous environments and serious legal consequences in the destination country. It is a complex issue tied to global migration, human rights, and international law.
