Human Trafficking

Human trafficking is a serious violation of human rights, involving the exploitation of people through force, fraud, or coercion for labor or commercial sex. In the United States, this crime affects thousands annually, cutting across age, gender, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Understanding its scope, recognizing its signs, and knowing how to respond are important steps toward eliminating this evil.

Labor Trafficking
Labor Trafficking is the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for labor or services, through the use of force, fraud, or coercion, for subjection to involuntary servitude, debt bondage, or slavery.
