ABSTRACT
Human trafficking is a multifaceted and profoundly harmful crime affecting millions worldwide. It entails exploiting people through coercion, deception, or force, frequently preying on those who are socially or economically marginalised. Victims endure extreme abuses, including sexual exploitation, forced labour, domestic servitude, removal of organs, and other degrading conditions. Their lives are characterised by trauma, fear, loss of agency, and enduring physical and psychological damage. This article examines who the victims of human trafficking are, the factors that increase their vulnerability, the varieties of exploitation they suffer, and the obstacles encountered during rescue, rehabilitation, and reintegration. It also underscores the necessity of a victim-centred response, prioritising empathy, protection, and sustained assistance. By appreciating the lived experiences of trafficking survivors, societies can better build systems that prevent exploitation and uphold justice and dignity for those affected.
