THE FACTS
What is human trafficking? Human trafficking requires the use of all or one of the following to secure any type of labor of commercial sex act – FORCE, FRAUD, or COERCION!
The International Labor Organization estimates that there are 40.3 million victims of human trafficking globally, with hundreds of thousands in the United States alone. The victims of this heinous crime are men, women, & children, both foreign and domestic. Certain situations can make people more vulnerable, but human trafficking has no boundaries. It will target anyone, anywhere, regardless of their race, religion, sexual orientation, or any other sub category we place on humans.
One hard truth is there are products all around you even in your home that were made, produced, created or developed in human trafficking environments. We must be aware and vigilant about what human trafficking is, how to spot it, and how to stop it.
