human trafficking is all about focused almost solely on sex trafficking of women and girls, but
actually it is the wide concept, such that low wage labor foster many opportunity for labor
exploitation. Moreover, women are trafficked for various purpose like, domestic work,
agriculture and plantation work etc. These types of abusive work situations are actually viable
for low and middle income countries where low cost labor is in high standards.
In accordance with the above, it is stated that majority of the women trafficking is related

emotionally, physically and social- cognitive. On the other hand, as per the reported over the
past five years, Romania is a source and destination country for women which is subjected to
force labor and women for human trafficking. So, Romania is in top 15 at EU level in the term
of citizenship of registered victims of trafficking of human beings and number of prosecution.
