Trafficking in Persons

Trafficking in Persons involves illegally recruiting, transporting, or forcing individuals into situations of exploitation, such as forced labor, sexual exploitation, or involuntary servitude. It often involves deception, coercion, or abuse of power, and victims may be manipulated or threaten to comply out of fear or economic hardship. Trafficking can occur within a country or across borders and affects vulnerable populations worldwide. It is a serious crime that violates human rights and requires coordinated efforts for prevention, protection, and justice.
