THE IMPACT OF RELIGION ON PREVENTING TRAFFICKING IN HUMAN BEINGS IN KOSOVO

Abstract

The article addresses the phenomenon of trafficking with
human beings, focusing specifically on the religious component
of preventing this phenomenon. To study this phenomenon, it is
necessary to study the causes of human trafficking in Kosovo from a
religious point of view. Concerning this negative phenomenon which
has also spread at a global level, Kosovo, as a new and developing
state, has built legal infrastructure for the prevention, protection,
treatment and reintegration of victims of human trafficking in
Kosovo. The functioning of the above is being carefully considered.
The research question is: How does religion impact the prevention
of trafficking in human beings in Kosovo? Relevant literature that
has dealt with this phenomenon from a religious perspective is used
for this theme in the study. To study this phenomenon, knowledge
and factual data are used on the history of the development of this
phenomenon. Factual data coming from relevant institutions in
Kosovo (dealing with this phenomenon in Kosovo) is used to evaluate
and measure the effectiveness of preventing human trafficking in
Kosovo. The methodology used for the study of the phenomenon
will focus on the methods: deductive, historical, statistical,
comparative, etc. Secondary data are used for assessments and
measurements of the development of the phenomenon, which will
be obtained from relevant institutions of Kosovo. From the data
and assessments on the development of the phenomenon results
will be drawn on the effectiveness of the functioning and impact
of the religious system on prevention of trafficking in human
beings in Kosovo. We find that religion contributes to the raising of
consciousness and morality of the people, and it exposes the ugly
activity of trafficking in human beings in Kosovo. Overall, we find
that families at risk of trafficking in human beings in Kosovo have
a low standard of living, and Social schemes currently operating in
Kosovo are not sufficient to cover all social categories that need
social assistance.
