Summary

This study examines the problems related to the trafficking on women.
Trafficking on women presents a variety of social, legal and moral problems. This
study uses a global perspective to define the role of women in society and its
implications for the study of trafficking. Secondary data analysis was performed
with specific emphasis on the role of women in society, economic factors and
documented governmental and non-governmental responses to the problem.
Results indicate that trafficking of women is a multi -layered issue. Research on
trafficking is further complicated by in availability of data, inconsistent responses
to the issue and the global nature of the problem. Suggestions for further research
are also given.
