PREVENIREA ȘI COMBATEREA TRAFICULUI DE COPII

Abstract

Through this article we have highlighted both the causes and some main measures to prevent and combat child trafficking, a phenomenon that is a serious problem of contemporary society and affects countries around the world, including the Republic of Moldova. Child trafficking is a serious violation of human rights, the aspects and dimensions of which remain in the shadows of reality. Although special measures and programs are being taken to reduce this phenomenon, the risk of being trafficked does not disappear and children continue to be victims of this phenomenon. Trafficking in human beings should not only be seen as a form of victimization of the human being, but also as a problem of human and social development. The negative consequences of this phenomenon extend from direct victims, to the communities and society from which they come and which face the loss of human capital, with increased costs for recovery and social reintegration of trafficked persons and who manage to be saved, thus, we are in the presence of a vicious circle. This crime must be aware as soon as possible to facilitate the process of effective prevention and prosecution.
