Abstract
The problem of human trafficking, although not a new phenomenon, has attracted the increasing interest of well-meaning individuals from numerous international bodies, non-governmental organizations, media, and academia and has been the subject of reinforced legislation designed to combat the misdemeanor. This study examines the moral issues of this transgression which has assumed an indispensable proportion in the battle against the phenomenon. Human trafficking is indeed a complex, multi-faceted, and shameful crime, affecting the lives of millions of people and robbing them of their dignity with no solution at sight. Employing content analysis and descriptive methodology, this study demonstrates that society's most vulnerable members burdened by disabilities, discrimination, and poverty continued to be preyed upon by traffickers. Findings revealed that the world today operates on deeply drawn lines that separate humans from the subhuman world, and in such a way that human principles are now threatened by inhumane practices.
