Abstract
Human trafficking is the trade of humans for the purpose of forced labour, sexual slavery, or
commercial sexual exploitation for the trafficker or others. This may encompass providing a spouse in the
context of forced marriage, or the extraction of organs or tissues, including for surrogacy and ova
removal. Human trafficking is thought to be one of the fastest-growing activities of trans-national criminal
organizations,(according to Wikipedia).
Traffickers use force, fraud, or coercion to lure their victims and force them into labor or
commercial sexual exploitation. They look for people who are susceptible for a variety of
reasons, including psychological or emotional vulnerability, economic hardship, lack of a social
safety net, natural disasters, or political instability. The trauma caused by the traffickers can be
so great that many may not identify themselves as victims or ask for help, even in highly public
settings,according to the (Department of Homeland security in America).
51% of identified victims of trafficking are women, 28% children and 21% men 72% people
exploited in the sex industry are women 63% of identified traffickers were men and 37% women
43% of victims are trafficked domestically within national borders women make up the largest
proportion of traffickers.the victim is at the center of any response to human
trafficking.Creating conditions of trust and respect will help victims reclaim their lives and move
toward self-sufficiency and independence. All victims deserve to feel safe and supported, and
when quality care, compassionate responses, and essential services are provided, not only will
they recover from their victimization, but they are usually more capable and willing to present
strong evidence and testimony in the prosecution of perpetrators, thereby helping to accomplish
