What Is Human Trafficking?

Human trafficking is the unlawful act of transporting, coercing, and forcing people to provide labor or engage in commercial sex acts without consent. This coercion can involve subtle convincing, bribery, and even kidnapping. It can also involve physical and psychological acts of aggression in order to get the victim to comply. The most common forms of human trafficking in the US are forced labor and sex trafficking.

How Many Children Are Affected By Sex Trafficking?

Unfortunately, children are the top demographic for victims of sex trafficking. An estimated 1.2 million children are affected by trafficking at any given time[iiv]. Around the world, most children who are victims of trafficking are involved in forced labor or sexual exploitation. Many human traffickers target children who appear vulnerable, have previously been abused, or come from unstable homes.
