trafficking networks

Trafficking networks are organized groups that engage in the illegal trade of people, drugs, weapons, or other goods. These networks operate across regions and often exploit vulnerable individuals. In human trafficking, for instance, victims may be coerced or deceived into forced labor or sexual exploitation. These networks rely on secrecy, manipulation, and corruption to evade law enforcement. They can involve multiple actors, including recruiters, transporters, and those who exploit the victims. Combating trafficking requires international cooperation, legislation, and support for victims to disrupt these criminal enterprises and reduce their impact on society.
