Human Trafficking
A serious crime that involves the exploitation of individuals for labor, sex, or other forms of servitude.
Human trafficking is a serious crime that involves the exploitation of individuals for labor, sex, or other forms of servitude. Victims are often manipulated, coerced, or forced into these situations, and they may be exploited for economic gain. Human trafficking can occur both domestically and internationally, affecting men, women, and children across various industries, such as agriculture, construction, domestic work, and the sex trade.
What You Can Do:
If you suspect someone is a victim of human trafficking, report it to authorities immediately. This can be done through:
-
- The National Human Trafficking Hotline in the U.S. (1-888-373-7888 or text 233733).
- Local law enforcement or national helplines in your country.
- Document any suspicious behavior, but avoid putting yourself or the victim in danger.
Educate others: Raising awareness about human trafficking can help communities identify potential victims and prevent further exploitation.
