Human trafficking refers to the exploitation of individuals through force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of sex trafficking or forced labor. It is a modern form of slavery and affects people of all genders, ages, and backgrounds around the world. Victims may be trafficked domestically or internationally, and are often subject to physical and emotional abuse, sexual violence, and other forms of exploitation. The root causes of human trafficking include poverty, lack of education, and social inequality. Governments, NGOs, and communities must work together to eradicate human trafficking and support survivors.
