trafficking victims

Trafficking victims are individuals who are exploited through force, fraud, or coercion for labor or commercial sex. They are often manipulated or deceived into leaving their homes, only to find themselves in situations where they cannot escape. Traffickers may use violence, threats, or psychological manipulation to maintain control over their victims. This crime can affect people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds. Victims typically experience significant physical and emotional harm and require support for recovery and reintegration into society. Addressing this issue involves prevention, law enforcement, and victim assistance efforts at local, national, and international levels.
