Children, victims of human trafficking, as social unit

Abstract

he economic and political transition which Romania experienced as of 1990, allowed the appearance of the human trafficking phenomenon, and the children are vulnerable to this crime activity. Children’s trafficking requires particular attention and specific responses of prevention and intervention, which presumes that the trafficked children are approached as social unit. This article brings arguments in favour of the recovery of the trafficked children considering the fact that they develop empirical systems of organisation and special social rules just in order to survive. Within this context, the clinical sociology and the clinician sociologist form an adequate working method with the children treated as social unit and social group with particular organisation and surviving rules within a special social and cultural environment.
