Abstract
The era of digitalization is becoming more of a vehicle for exploitation and criminal activities. That said, transnational criminals are increasingly utilizing the darknet or deep web as a medium for human trafficking. Human trafficking is a global problem and the solution requires a comprehensive response to tackle this borderless crime. In the 2018 U.S. State Department Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report, Malaysia was downgraded to Tier 2 Watch List. This article reviews the literature on human trafficking, the existing legislations, and their effectiveness in Malaysia to combat human trafficking in the internet and deep web. The article analyzes the existing policies, Malaysia laws and international laws, and instruments that are available to prevent and protect women, children, and migrant workers from being trafficked. This article will also suggest the necessary measures to prevent human trafficking in Malaysia.
