Trafficking in human beings is one of the world’s top burning issues that has affected every country around the globe. There is no single profile of a potential victim; women, children and men are equally put at risk. The prevailing reasons that can lead to a person becoming a victim of human trafficking are poverty, domestic violence, poor education, bad working conditions and migration to another country in a search for a better life. Human trafficking is a process that takes in several stages, at first the victims are recruited and after having gained their trust they are mostly transported to the destination country. This is followed by the exploitation of the victims and imposing control on them. Humans are mainly trafficked for sexual exploitation and forced labor, organ trafficking, forced marriages and other forms of exploitation such as begging and forced criminal activities. At the end of the last century, the international community recognized the problem of human trafficking, and consequently various Conventions, Protocols and Directives were adopted in order to solve it. The Republic of Croatia has successfully implemented the legal acquis of international law into its legislation, although there is still no single statute that regulates all issues on combating human trafficking. The criminal offense of human trafficking is regulated by Article 106 of the Criminal Code.
