This volume has been supported significantly by the United States Embassy in Bucharest, which has contributed, together with the Faculty of Philosophy and Social-Political Sciences from the Alexandru Ioan Cuza University in Iasi, to the organisation of a national conference on the topic of human trafficking. This work is, in fact, an illustration of the complex issue of human trafficking and its effects on society. These effects may manifest themselves in a straightforward form (control of the body, violence and aggressiveness), as well as in more subtle ways (blackmail, fear, dependence, deceit, vain illusions). From this point of view, this book is one of the few existing works that manage to illustrate both the visible and the invisible dimensions of this serious problem we are faced with nowadays.
