Nashville, Tennessee is a city in the United States that has experienced human trafficking activity, particularly in the sex trafficking of minors. The city has taken steps to address the problem, including establishing a task force to combat human trafficking and creating a safe house for trafficking victims. Nashville is a major hub for interstate highways, making it a prime location for traffickers transporting victims across state lines.
