Human trafficking in Podkarpackie Voivodship

Abstract

Human traffickingis a serious threat to societies, encompassing slavery, prostitution, forced labour and organ trafficking. This is a brutal violation of human rights that requires a strong public response. The main causes of this practice lie in poverty, social inequalities and armed conflicts. Organ trafficking is also taking on frightening proportions. The victims of this shameful practice experience traumatic situations and their psyche is exposed to numerous sufferings. The report and publications present various cases and analyses concerning human trafficking in Poland. The results of the research indicate the need to increase public awareness and protect potential victims. Many criminal groups operate in rural areas or smaller cities, exploiting international connections. Women who are forced into prostitution or otherwise exploited are more likely to be trafficked. It is important to take action to combat this practice, including strengthening international cooperation and public education.
