Human Trafficking

Human trafficking is a crime that involves the exploitation of people for profit. It occurs when a person is recruited, transported, transferred, harbored, or received by force, fraud, or deception for the purpose of exploitation.

Some common forms of human trafficking are:

  • Forced labor – Compelling people to work against their will, often under harsh conditions and for little or no pay.
  • Sexual exploitation – Forcing individuals into prostitution or other forms of sexual exploitation.
  • Organ trafficking – Removing organs from individuals without their consent for transplantation.
  • Forced marriage – Forcing individuals into marriage against their will.

Human trafficking is a global problem that affects people of all ages and backgrounds. Victims are often vulnerable individuals, such as children, migrants, and those in poverty. The perpetrators of this crime are organized criminals and others who profit from the exploitation of others.
