About Human Trafficking
Human trafficking, also known as trafficking in persons (TIP), is a form of exploitation in which perpetrators use force, fraud, or coercion to control victims for the purpose of engaging in commercial sex acts or labor services against their will. Human trafficking is a crime under federal and international law, as well as a crime in every state in the United States.
Adults, teenagers, and even children can be victims of human trafficking. Many are forced to work in prostitution or the sex entertainment industry, but trafficking also occurs in forms of labor exploitation in urban, suburban, and rural areas. Victims of labor trafficking who have been identified in the United States include domestic servants, restaurant staff, hotel employees, factory workers, and agricultural laborers.
