Labor Trafficking

Labor trafficking is a form of human trafficking that involves the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, or receipt of individuals for the purpose of labor or services, through the use of force, coercion, or other means of deception. Labor trafficking can take many forms, including forced labor, debt bondage, and slavery. It can affect individuals of all ages and can occur in many different industries, including agriculture, construction, manufacturing, and domestic work. Labor trafficking is a serious crime and a violation of human rights. It often involves the exploitation and abuse of vulnerable individuals, and it can have serious consequences for the victims, including physical and psychological harm, as well as loss of freedom and dignity. Governments and international organizations are working to combat labor trafficking and to support victims of this crime.
