Human Trafficking
Why Human Trafficking?
Human trafficking is defined as the recruitment, transport, transfer, harboring, and receiving of people, typically by force or coercion, for the purpose of exploitation. Trafficking takes many forms including: sexual exploitation; forced labor or domestic servitude; forced marriages; and children forced to serve as soldiers or commit crimes for the benefit of someone else. Combating human trafficking is a complex task that requires dismantling trafficking networks, teaching communities to understand and identify risks, protecting victims, and providing aftercare for survivors.
