Abstract

The focus of this article is to discuss the discourse on the goodness of God in the reality of human suffering. This discourse aims to examine cases of human trafficking in NTT critically. We employed a qualitative descriptive method. In the first part, We discussed human trafficking cases in NTT. In the second part, we examined Albert Camus’ thoughts about the absurdity of human life. In the third part, we reflected on the relevance of Camus’ view concerning the suffering of victims of human trafficking. It led us to a new finding that human suffering, such as victims of human trafficking, does not negate the goodness of God in the world, as happened in Camus’ reflection.
