Summary
The focus on the initial stage of the trafficking process, THE RECRUITMENT derives from the status of Romania as one of the main origin countries for trafficking victims in Europe. Studying the context of recruitment, such as why minors are attracted to recruiters, is a first step in achieving an intervention strategy in vulnerable communities where exploitation begins and where the conditions making this possible are met. In general, the study was intended to be a contribution to understanding the trafficking phenomenon in Romania, with focus on one side concerning prevention and awareness campaigns and implementing efficient anti-trafficking actions and, on the other, for the experts who have direct contact with the victims (police officers, social assistants etc.) to establish effective support measures.
