Victims of Cybertrafficking of Humans

Cyber technologies have presented human traffickers with several new tools to exploit the victims of human trafficking on a national and international level. However, victims of cybertrafficking of humans are often a population that scholarship fails to explore in-depth. This chapter will first describe what cybertrafficking of humans is and why it is essential to study. Secondly, the chapter will discuss cybertrafficking of humans with a specific focus on the vulnerability of the victims and, thirdly, describe and discuss the barriers of getting accurate statistics, stigmatization of victim, and the lack of victim visibility. The aims of the chapter to identify barriers victims face and critically discuss the two existing bodies of literature on human trafficking and cyber victimization can contribute to future research of victims of cybertrafficking of humans.
