The U.S. Department of State describes human trafficking as the “act of recruiting, harboring, transporting, providing, or obtaining a person for compelled labor or commercial sex acts through the use of force, fraud, or coercion.”
Children and women can end up forced into the sex trade for a variety of reasons, including false promises of a better life. Human trafficking of young girls and women is a disturbing crime affecting communities everywhere in this country.
