FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded): they refer to Human trafficking as a " form of modern-day slavery " |
according to the us federal law, " victims of human trafficking include children involved in the sex trade, adults age 18 or over who are coerced or deceived into commercial sex acts, and anyone forced into different forms of "labor or services," |
this traffick is such an eenormous business that it goes from small-scale "mom and pop labor operations" to bigger scale farm and factories |
human traffick victims do not have a specific stereotype, "Victims of human trafficking in the United States include U.S. citizens or foreign nationals, adults or minors, and men or women. Foreign-born victims in the U.S. may be either documented or undocumented." |
human traffick is considered "one of the fastest growing criminal industries" |
