What Is Human Trafficking?
Human trafficking is a form of exploitation in which a person is forced, coerced, or manipulated into labor, services, or commercial sex. Trafficking can occur through threats, psychological pressure, physical harm, fraud, debt bondage, or taking advantage of someone’s vulnerabilities such as poverty, housing insecurity, trauma, or lack of support.
It is important to know that trafficking does not require crossing borders and can happen in any community. Survivors often experience significant emotional, psychological, and physical impacts, including anxiety, depression, dissociation, shame, fear, and difficulty trusting others. Healing is possible with the right support, safety, and trauma-informed care.
