Human Trafficking Law

Human trafficking law, particularly in the context of sexual offenses, criminalizes the exploitation of individuals through coercion, deception, or force for sexual purposes. This includes actions such as forcing someone into sex work or exploiting victims in the sex trade. Laws aim to protect vulnerable individuals, punish perpetrators, and provide support for victims. Trafficking can involve both adults and minors, with heightened penalties for offenses involving children. These laws emphasize the importance of consent and the violation of personal autonomy, creating legal frameworks to combat and prevent this serious crime.
