Abstract

Human trafficking is the exploitation of people through manipulation, force, fraud, or coercion in exchange for anything of value. Trafficking includes human rights abuses such as debt bondage, deprivation of liberty, and lack of control over freedom and labor. Trafficking can happen through sexual exploitation or labor exploitation. Commercial sexual exploitation includes forcing an individual to engage in commercial sex acts, including prostitution or the production of pornography. Any time access to a minor’s body or sexuality is exchanged for anything of value, commercial sexual exploitation is occurring.
