labor trafficking

Labor trafficking is a serious crime where individuals are coerced or deceived into working under exploitative conditions. Victims may face physical threats, financial deception, or manipulation, which keeps them from leaving their jobs. This can happen in various industries, including agriculture, construction, and domestic work. Labor traffickers often take advantage of vulnerable populations, including migrant workers or those in poverty. Unlike sex trafficking, labor trafficking focuses on forced labor rather than sexual exploitation. It's a violation of human rights, and its consequences can be devastating for those affected, impacting their health, freedom, and dignity.
