To be a human trafficker means to engage in the practice of exploiting people for labor, sexual exploitation, or other forms of exploitation through the use of force, fraud, or coercion. Human traffickers use various tactics to control and exploit their victims, such as violence, threats, deception, or manipulation. They may also use their victims’ lack of access to resources, support networks, or legal protections to maintain control over them.
Human traffickers can be individuals, small groups, or organized networks, and they can operate at the local, national, or international level. They may operate in a variety of industries, including the sex trade, agriculture, construction, or domestic work.
