Perhaps the motive for it is many reasons, including economic and social or because of the wars that Iraq has suffered from and the spread of corruption in addition to technological development, which led to its widespread spread in Iraq. Iraq has developed strategies to eliminate it, but they were not at the required level, as combating this phenomenon is not limited to setting legislative measures by issuing the Anti-Human Trafficking Law of 2012, which was plagued by many shortcomings in many aspects. Rather, it requires reconsidering many of the legislations that play a major role in its increase, as well as taking into account other aspects that have an effective role in achieving this, including activating the role of awareness in all fields, as it constitutes a real prevention. The issue of protecting victims should also be taken into account and, as a first step, treating them as people who deserve protection and not as criminals by providing All the components that contribute to not being exposed to threats and thus losing their rights, which may expose them to trafficking again, in addition to that, to ensure their recovery and integration into society, it is necessary to provide all the necessary assistance to achieve that. In conclusion, the director of the center thanked the lecturer, wishing him continued success and prosperity in serving our distinguished university and our beloved Iraq
