What
Is Human Trafficking?
Human trafficking is slavery
and it is happening TODAY! Women, children,
and men are recruited, abducted, transported and sold through
fraud and deception. They are then forced into slave conditions
for commercial sex and forced labor.
Millions of human
beings are paid little or no money, locked away, and controlled
by violence, intimidation, and fear. They are forced to
labor in sweatshops, places of prostitution, restaurants,
hotels, fields, and homes as domestics.
