What Is Human Trafficking?

Human trafficking involves the use of fraud, force, or coercion to obtain some type of commercial labor or sex act. In the United States alone, millions of men, women, and children are trafficked each year. Human trafficking often happens in plain site, and does not discriminate against age, race, or gender. 

How It Happens

While traffickers use a variety of methods to force their victims into labor, "boy-friending" is commonly used to lure young women in. This act consists of a man essentially treating the young woman as a significant other, making her feel loved or adored, gaining her trust, and then using this control to manipulate her. Many girls do not come forth even once they realize what is happening to them, which may be due to fear, threats, or embarrassment. In frequent cases, many victims are drugged, trapped, and transported to their buyer, often resulting in death.

Know The Signs

  • Signs of physical injury or abuse

  • Lacking official identification documents

  • Lacking person possessions

  • Adherence to scripted or rehearsed responses in social interaction

  • Avoiding eye contact and authority figures/law enforcement

  • Appearing malnourished 

  • Poor physical or dental health

  • Tattoos/branding on the neck and/or lower back

  • Looking at others to talk for them

  • Small children working at family restaurant or other place of employment

Statistics

It is estimated that nearly 40 million people are victims to human trafficking. However, because it is nearly impossible to calculate how many are currently involved in the industry, it is safe to say that this number is most likely much larger than what we currently assume. With human trafficking coming in many shapes and sizes, it is difficult to survey those who have been, or are currently involved.
