Human Trafficking In the U.S.
Trafficking is often referred to as modern-day slavery.
According to the definition used by Homeland Security “human trafficking involves the use of force, fraud or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act.”
- Labor Trafficking occurs most often when someone is forced or coerced into working for little to no money in a factory, domestic servitude or manual labor type industry [source].
- Sex trafficking is the trade of anything of value for a sex act through the use of force, fraud or coercion. When minors are induced into the commercial sex trade, force, fraud or coercion no longer need to be proven; exploiting a child for sex is a federal crime [18 U.S. Code § 1591] .
- Both forms of trafficking may include movement across a border of some kind, but it is not required.
- Sex trafficking is more than these basic definitions though. It is America’s daughters, sisters, mothers, nieces and sometimes sons.
