Abstract
The crime whose object is people, who acquire the epithet „white slavery“, is not unknown, but it constantly manifests itself in new forms and shapes, through which it always finds ways to appear legal, most often hiding under legal professions and occupations. Internal human trafficking, which was invisible for a long period of time, gradually expanding the spectrum of trends of realization, today exists everywhere in the region. Human trafficking represents a serious violation of fundamental human rights and a strong affront to human dignity. The analysis of the developments in the area of human trafficking on the territory of the country and beyond confirms the facts of the Republic of North Macedonia increasingly being identified as a country of origin, and to a certain extent also a country of transit and destination for victims of human trafficking, where internal human trafficking dominates, which is carried out on the basis of certain methods of recruitment followed by an appropriate form of exploitation, as an achieved goal of previously organized and planned activities of human traffickers.
