Human trafficking is one of the key issues of society. The forming of this concept took place in the second half of the 21th century. Additionally, that time presents the beginning of the most essential policies for preventing human trafficking. The victims of these crimes suffer from different forms of violence and they all share the feelings of powerlessness and uncertainty. Their main advocates are nongovernmental organizations, which aim at providing them with appropriate help and protection. Nongovernmental organizations are responsible for promoting more and more national and international efforts for preventing this phenomenon, which rose to unimaginable dimensions in the last few decades. Slovenia and Croatia aren't at the top of the statistics of human trafficking cases. Nonetheless, there is sufficient evidence of both victims and offenders in both countries. They are obligated to carry out policies of the European Union, which are oriented towards the fight against human trafficking. Despite many policies, which the EU passed in the 21th century, there are still several shortcomings on the national levels. Insufficient measures for preventing human trafficking and protecting the victims result in the major affection of the victims. Their successful rehabilitation depends on the type of treatment they receive. It's necessary to consider the suitability of the existing policies and to think about the possibilities of introducing improvements on both the national and the international levels.
