Chapter 13: Human Trafficking on the Web: Opportunities for Education

The chapter discusses trafficking from the angle that has not received much attention in research so far—although in recent years increasingly more— and this is the so-called cyber trafficking or trafficking in the online/web environment. The first part of this chapter is thus devoted to explore trafficking on the web with a particular focus to discuss the matrimonial web. The second part of the chapter is devoted to discuss the opportunities for education in relation to trafficking and its online manifestations. We conducted interviews with experts, including nongovernmental organizations who work on trafficking in Slovenia. Using expert interviews we discuss the challenges for education of young people on the recent manifestations of online trafficking. In particular, we focus to analyze educational and awareness-raising strategies of Ključ-Centre for Fight Against Trafficking in Human Beings and Caritas, presenting and discussing their educational approaches to trafficking, analyzing the possible good practices to foster equality, and advancing justice in the area of trafficking.
