What Is Human Trafficking?

Human trafficking is a modern-day form of slavery. Victims of human trafficking are subjected to force, fraud, or coercion, for the purpose of sexual exploitation or forced labor. Victims are young children, teenagers, men, and women.

Did You Know?

• After drug dealing, human trafficking is tied with the illegal-arms industry as the second-largest criminal industry in the world today, and it is the fastest growing.
• Annually, 800,000 to 900,000 victims are trafficked across international borders worldwide.
• Of those victims, 18,000 to 20,000 are trafficked into the United States.
• Victims are generally trafficked into the US from Asia, Central and South America, and Eastern Europe. Many victims trafficked into the United States do not speak and understand English. They're isolated and can't communicate with service providers, law enforcement, and others who might be able to help them.
• There are several forms of human trafficking:
• sexual exploitation
• labor exploitation
• servile marriages
• child-sex tourism

Human Trafficking is world-wide ... including the United States ... including Massachusetts!
