Abstract
With the proliferation of technology worldwide, human trafficking has advanced beyond its “traditional” form. No longer is the sexual exploitation of children limited to face-to-face contact, as cyber-sex trafficking allows this exploitation to occur through a computer screen from thousands of kilometres away. With the aid of technology, children are now sexually abused through the internet. The children are usually coerced by adult predators or paedophile whose location can be anywhere in the world. Cybersex trafficking is a horrendous violation of the dignity of human beings, and it is also a threat to the safety and health of people. It has never been more relevant that Australia and the international community develop legislation which effectively prevents, punishes and deters this sort of conduct. Transnational crimes such as this can only be effectively combated through strong cross-border cooperation, driven by national law enforcement agencies who's aim is to protect the 2 million children who are involved in the sex trade worldwide.
