Human Trafficking is a form of modern day
 slavery and is a crime against humanity.

 

 

 

A multi-billion dollar criminal industry that denies freedom to millions of people around the world. And no matter where you live, chances are it's happening nearby. From under-aged girls forced into prostitution at a truck stop, to the man discovered washing dishes in a restaurant kitchen, stripped of his passport and held against his will, to undocumented
workers forced to clean guest rooms at a resort hotel... All trafficking victims share one essential experience: the loss of freedom.

 

Approximately 300,000 American children are forced into slavery through domestic minor
sex trafficking. Pimps and predators are constantly prowling the streets and social media looking for unsuspecting victims, who are usually easy to spot. Human Trafficking is the second largest criminal industry in the world after drug trafficking, and is the fastest
growing. Victims of human trafficking may suffer from physical and psychological problems because they are often forced, or coerced, into dangerous conditions. Education is the key when it comes to recognizing, investigating, responding and assisting with the prosecution
of human trafficking cases.
