70 missing children, including sex trafficking victims, found in Texas operation – FOX 10 News Phoenix
Human trafficking is a crime of exploitation in which the suspects profit at the expense of their victims by compelling them to perform labor or commercial sex. It's estimated that there are some 25 million victims of human trafficking worldwide at any given time, according to information published by the U.S. State Department — although such figures are difficult to calculate due to the hidden nature of the crime.
Anyone with information about a human trafficking victim or related criminal activities is asked to call the National Human Trafficking Hotline at (888) 373-7888.
