Overview of Human Trafficking Issue

Human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery. Victims of human trafficking are young children, teenagers, men and women. Victims of human trafficking are subjected to force, fraud, or coercion, for the purpose of sexual exploitation or forced labor.

After drug dealing, trafficking of humans is tied with arms dealing as the second largest criminal industry in the world, and is the fastest growing.

Many victims of human trafficking are forced to work in prostitution or the sex entertainment industry. But trafficking also occurs in forms of labor exploitation, such as domestic servitude, restaurant work, janitorial work, sweatshop factory work and migrant agricultural work.

Traffickers use various techniques to instill fear in victims and to keep them enslaved. Some traffickers keep their victims under lock and key. However, the more frequent practice is to use less obvious techniques including:

· Debt bondage - financial obligations, honor-bound to satisfy debt

· Isolation from the public - limiting contact with outsiders and making sure that any contact is monitored or superficial in nature

· Isolation from family members and members of their ethnic and religious community

· Confiscation of passports, visas and/or identification documents

· Use or threat of violence toward victims and/or families of victims

· The threat of shaming victims by exposing circumstances to family

· Telling victims they will be imprisoned or deported for immigration violations if they contact authorities

· Control of the victims' money, e.g., holding their money for "safe-keeping"

In October 2000, the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA) made human trafficking a Federal crime. It was enacted to prevent human trafficking overseas, to protect victims and help them rebuild their lives in the U.S., and to prosecute traffickers of humans under Federal penalties. Prior to 2000, no comprehensive Federal law existed to protect victims of trafficking or to prosecute their traffickers. Reference from - ^{www.acf.hhs.gov/trafficking/}
