Idaho

Idaho, the 43rd state, joined the U.S. in 1890. The state is appropriately shaped like a logger’s boot, and logging as well as mining are big industries in the state. But the state is probably best known for its potatoes. The state’s name is thought to be an Indian name, Ee-dah-hoe, which means “gem of the mountains.” Idaho has a rugged landscape with some of the largest unspoiled natural areas in the country. Boise is the capital and the state flower is the syringa.

Human trafficking is a serious issue that affects people all around the world, including in Idaho. It is a form of modern slavery in which individuals are exploited for labor, sexual exploitation, or other purposes.

In Idaho, human trafficking can take many forms, including forced labor, domestic servitude, and sexual exploitation. It often affects vulnerable populations, such as immigrants, children, and people who are homeless or in poverty.
