BACKGROUND
Human trafficking is an ancient phenomenon that only since the past two decades has been coming to light. In other words, we face an old problem with a new name.
During colonial times women and girls, particularly African and indigenous people were uprooted from their places of origin and traded as labor, servitude and / or as sex objects.
