Russian term or phrase: "живой товар"
Позже понятие "белого рабства" распространилось на торговлю "живым товаром" в целом. Торговля «живым товаром» как асоциальное, криминальное явление имеет осробенность приспосабливаться к новым условиям жизни, менять свои формы и методы в зависмости от экономической и социальной ситуации в каждой коекретной стране и в мире в целом

agree  Nadezhda Kirichenko: trafficking in human beings, see for example http://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/trafficking_human_beings.html
3 hrs
  -> а также trafficking in persons/people - вариантов довольно много, хотя trafficking намного шире, чем просто "торговля"
neutral  Vladimir Dubisskiy: 'human commodity' that's the right term here and it exists.

  -> угу, давно не виделись
agree  Marina Gorlach: with 'human trafficking'

  -> я выше уже говорил, что это общЕЕ. Human trafficking подразумевает, например, переправку нелегалов через границы. Это не всегда торговля живым товаром.
agree  Dorene Cornwell: A nuance: "trafficking in human beings" is a bit more formal than :huamn trafficking" and might fit the bill here. All roads lead to trafficking, but nuances are possible.

  -> I think it depends on whether we want to emphasize the `trade'. There are different definitions of human trafficking, even official ones, and some of them also include human smuggling, illegal transportation, etc.
