Types of Human Trafficking

There are several different types of human trafficking, including sex trafficking, labor trafficking, and organ trafficking.

  • Sex trafficking is compelling someone to engage in commercial sex acts. This can include prostitution, pornography, and other forms of sexual exploitation.
  • Labor trafficking is exploiting someone for labor or services. This can include forced labor, domestic servitude, and other forms of exploitation.
  • Organ trafficking is the illegal trade of organs for transplantation. This can involve forcing someone to donate an organ against their will, or buying or selling organs on the black market.

People who are subjected to these crimes are forced to work in a wide range of occupations and industries. To illustrate, human trafficking occurs in:

  • Agriculture, including farming, fishing, and forestry
  • Construction, including building and infrastructure projects
  • Domestic work, including cleaning, cooking, and childcare
  • Manufacturing, including textiles, electronics, and clothing
