What is Human Trafficking?
Human Trafficking
The use of force, fraud or coercion to compel a person into commercial sex acts or labor or services against his or her will. The one exception involves minors and commercial sex, inducing a minor into commercial sex is considered human trafficking regardless of the presence of force, fraud or coercion.
- Force: Traffickers use force through physical harm, slapping, beating, sexual assault, rape, physical assault, and confinement/physical restraint.
- Fraud: Many children and youth are tricked by fake relationships - posing as boyfriends, offering false promises of love and happiness. Once lured, they are controlled through false job offers, blackmail, and deceit.
- Coercion: Traffickers know psychological pressure works well so they use it all the time. They make their victims feel alone, prey on religious beliefs, vulnerably, or instability of their family life. Unlike beatings, you cannot photograph pressure, and it is not easy for victims to discuss. Coercion eludes even the coerced.
