labor trafficking awareness

Labor trafficking is the illegal exploitation of individuals through force, fraud, or coercion to perform work against their will. Often hidden, it can occur in various industries such as agriculture, construction, and domestic work. Victims may be physically or psychologically controlled, deprived of freedom, or financially trapped, preventing escape. Raising awareness involves understanding the signs—such as limited freedom, unexplained injuries, or inconsistent work conditions—and recognizing the importance of reporting suspected cases to protect vulnerable individuals and combat this serious crime.
