1.What is human trafficking and how many forms does it take

Human trafficking is a form of modern slavery. It is the highest form of modern crime. Cases in which one person exploits another person to obtain financial gain for his own benefit and sacrificing the health and integrity of another is punishable under all rules and laws.

In general, traffickers take advantage of the vulnerabilities and helplessness of their victims. The most common victims of trafficking are children and women who are weaker physical persons in the societies. In this way traffickers take control and influence over them. Often such criminals resort to physical or psychological violence, and restrict the freedom of the victim to extreme limits. Very often traffickers operate with extremes and measures such as locking up victims and economic dependency. Many times they confiscate the documents of their enslaved persons, restrict them in terms of food, treat them in locked rooms and other abuses that put the weak in an even more vulnerable position. Traffickers many times work as part of an entire criminal network, but there are cases where they act alone.

Human trafficking can affect everyone. No one is immune from such modern slavery. Yet, the people most often targeted by traffickers are: children and women. These can be of all nationalities (EU and non-EU). You too can be a victim! Here's what else is important to know:

Human trafficking can take many forms

  • Sexual exploitation

Victims of sexual exploitation are forced to perform sexual services, as a result of which they receive payment. The latter is in the form of money, which is taken by the exploiter. The exploiter of a trafficked person may manipulate, coerce or persuade their victim to do bad and indecent things, promising them goods, money or the hope of a better life. Ultimately, this never happens. Victims of sexual exploitation end up in the prostitution industry, the porn industry, and Internet escort services.

  • Forced crime

Victims of trafficking and violent crime are forced to do illegal things against their will for the benefit of another (the trafficker). The exploiter imposes various forms of violence, drug addiction, fraud, and a host of other things just to take control of the victim and force them to commit illegal acts. This is often seen in youth groups and gangs.

  • Labour exploitation

In this form of abuse, victims must work in conditions contrary to human dignity in order to benefit others. These may be intolerable working conditions, long hours for little or no pay, extremely poor conditions. Such persons are often isolated or dependent on their employer even for food, shelter, access to healthcare and completely deprived of social contact. Victims in almost all sectors (restaurants, construction, agriculture and many others) fall under labour exploitation.

  • Illegal removal of organs

Victims of trafficking are often exploited and abused for their body parts. Exploiters lure children, youth, women to "sell" their organs for a small amount of money. Many times their approach is making false promises. Sometimes the exploiters resort to violence, and they themselves receive huge sums of money for reselling vital organs and body parts of the victims.

  • Exploitation through begging

In this form of human trafficking, the scapegoats are the relatives of the abducted persons. These are forced by the exploiter, who many times is part of an entire clan or network, to provide a certain amount of money to ransom their relatives. This form of exploitative begging not only puts the victims but also their relatives under constant scrutiny and pressure. Thus, all together they endure various forms of threats and violence if they do not collect the amount of money demanded.

2.How can we fight trafficking of children and women through charitable causes?

Trafficking of children and women is a serious problem that requires immediate action and activism from all of us. This type of exploitation is a violation of basic human rights and must be stopped. That's why the Pavel Andreev Foundation seeks to raise awareness, about this type of crime, giving everyone the opportunity to start their own crowdfunding campaign for child and women victims of human trafficking.

Thanks to the support of charitable causes, victims can overcome trauma and start a new life.

3.How fundraising can help against trafficking in children and women

So, we come to the question of how fundraising can help you to support measures against trafficking in women and children.

Forced labour, sexual exploitation and other forms of human trafficking have a devastating effect on the lives of many innocent people. It is therefore necessary to stop this extremely harmful business, and one of the most effective means of achieving this is by raising funds through charitable causes.

Fundraising is a key component in the fight against trafficking in children and women

Given that it takes a lot of resources and effort to take action against a criminal business, it is by using charity fundraising campaigns that such actions and measures are more likely to be successful.

One way to raise funds to counter trafficking of children and women is by drawing attention to the problem.
