Human Trafficking Ring

A human trafficking ring is a group of individuals or organizations that are involved in the recruitment, transportation, harboring, or receipt of people for the purpose of exploitation. Human trafficking is a form of modern slavery that involves the exploitation of people for labor or sexual purposes. Human trafficking rings typically operate in secret and may use violence, threats, or other forms of coercion to control their victims. They may also use deception or other tactics to lure people into situations where they can be exploited. Human trafficking rings can operate locally, nationally, or internationally, and can be difficult to identify and dismantle.
