What is Human Trafficking?
Human trafficking is a crime and a human rights violation. It involves the recruitment, movement and exploitation of a person. The initial consent by a person will be irrelevant if it was obtained by means of fraud, deception or coercion. A child cannot consent to being trafficked. Transporting a child into exploitative conditions constitutes trafficking. Click the image below to learn a little more about what Human Trafficking is.
