تحديات مكافحة جريمة الاتجار بالبشر في ظل التطور التكنولوجي

Abstract EN

Trafficking in human beings is the new form of slavery known in antiquity and one of the worst practices affecting human dignity and loss of human rights, not to mention the great impact it has on its psychological and physical state.

However, those who practice these practices see the opposite, he sees it as a trade that generates thousands of billions.

Comes third in terms of profit after the arms and drug trade and is a source of funding for other criminal activities, especially terrorism and money laundering.

In view of the seriousness of the crime of human trafficking, governments and organizations have consistently endeavored to strengthen international efforts to combat them by enacting laws and conventions and developing strategies and measures to prevent and suppress such practices.

In contrast, criminals have developed their methods of committing human trafficking and have always sought to create new ways to facilitate their practices shameful and prevent the overthrow of them, and highlighted what the modern era and exploited by human traffickers professionally is the technological development and the information revolution.

The more the world advances in globalization and technological development, the more easily human lives become, especially in the field of communications and transactions among them.

The same is true of human trafficking.

Technology provides more creative and complex ways for traffickers to commit crimes, especially in the areas of services and deals.

Using the Internet to display their services and communicate among themselves and the exchange of illegal materials through chat rooms and WAP messages that leave behind a trace can be tracked, and resort to encryption to hide the content of the files and the identity of the senderHuman traffickers also exploit the Internet to recruit victims through advertisements, job creation sites, sites providing industrial, tourist or recreational services, and even exploiting victims by selling their sexually explicit images, especially children and women, for sexual purposes.

Sins it is impossible to stop the development and progress of technology and to do so would be a great loss to humanity.

Instead of suppressing technology, governments have used it to stop and combat human traffickers by establishing systems that monitor the movements and operations of human trafficking and exploit technology to assist victims.

So technology has been part of the problem and is also part of the solution.
