HUMAN TRAFFICKING CONFERENCE

“Human Trafficking is an offense against human dignity, a crime in which human beings, many of them teenagers and young children, are BOUGHT and SOLD and often sexually abused by violent criminals. They are trafficked in forms of labor exploitation, domestic servitude, migrant agricultural work.
Victims are subjected to force, fraud, isolation, or coercion for the purpose of exploitation. Our nation is determined to fight and end this modern form of slavery.”
–United States Department of Health and Human Services
