Abstract

This paper examines the human trafficking victims caused by the rapid flow of information as a result of the technology. The purpose of this paper is to discover the negative impact of technological development resulting in human trafficking victims. This research was conducted using a qualitative method by interviewing victims who had experienced human trafficking in Cianjur Regency, West Java. The results of this study indicate that women who were involved in human trafficking had low education. As a result, they were unable to filter the rapid flow of information well, and thus made them the victims of human trafficking. Social media have encouraged women to be tempted to work and earn money to meet their needs so that they were trapped in human trafficking.
