خلاصة:
In the present era, trafficking has become a widespread phenomenon, and it can be said that no country in the world is immune to this affliction. However, among the various types of trafficking, human trafficking has attracted considerable attention from organized gangs due to its high profits. Especially the trafficking of women and girls for exploitation in places of vice, forcing them into prostitution, or using them as domestic servants, has expanded significantly. The increase in human trafficking, especially of women and girls, has become a global catastrophe, and governments, despite all their efforts, have not been very successful in controlling it.

Is this phenomenon specific to developing countries, or does it exist in developed countries as well? This article seeks to find answers to these questions.
