Victims of human trafficking can be anyone, anywhere. US citizens, foreign nationals, men, women, children, LGBTQIA+ and more. 600,000+ people are trafficked across international borders every year.
WHAT?
Traffickers will use lies, threats, debt bondage and violence to coerce and compel adults and children to engage in acts against their will.
WHY?
Ultimately, traffickers exist because human trafficking remains highly lucrative. There are two primary factors that drive human trafficking, high profit and low risk. This combination drives the expansive spread of human trafficking, making it one of the most profitable criminal industry.
