The Human Trafficking Act is a law in the United Kingdom that was passed in 2015. It criminalizes the act of trafficking individuals for the purposes of exploitation, including forced labor and sexual exploitation. The Act also provides protection and support for victims of trafficking, and allows for the prosecution of traffickers. It replaces and consolidates earlier laws on trafficking, and is intended to reflect the UK’s obligations under international human trafficking conventions. The Act also allows for the confiscation of traffickers’ assets and the creation of slavery and trafficking prevention orders.
Modern day slavery, or human trafficking, is more prevalent than many realize. Here we will give you a guide to understand human trafficking in your area.
The post Understanding Human Trafficking appeared first on Agape International Missions.

Our team in Namibia recently began monitoring in a new location, right on the border of a neighboring country. During a tour of a nearby marketplace, they witnessed people being sold into labor for less than a dollar.
It was a brief scene, almost a throwaway line, in an episode or two. But somehow, the writers of the popular HBO series Euphoria managed to get a lot right about how human trafficking actually works – while maintaining some serious dramatic tension. That’s the kind of nuanced storytelling about human trafficking we are hoping our new guide for entertainment writers, producers and directors, Telling the Real Story of Human Trafficking, will help spread.
Twenty years ago next month, when Polaris first opened its doors, human trafficking had only officially been a crime in this country for about a year. Creating awareness was an urgent undertaking. This year, Polaris celebrates two decades of building a movement and a world where the powerful cannot so easily exploit the vulnerable for profit. Today, we see a new urgency around awareness. It is more important than ever before to move past the myths, stereotypes, and unfounded fears that feed panics and conspiracy theories, which manifest in real harm to victims and survivors and fueled an unprecedented attack on our nation’s Capitol. Instead, we need to replace those dangerous myths with a deeper understanding of how human trafficking actually happens – and to whom – so we can craft policies that prevent the crime before it happens. That’s why we created this training.
