Victim

To be a victim of human trafficking means to be exploited for labor, sexual exploitation, or other forms of exploitation through the use of force, fraud, or coercion. Victims of human trafficking may be forced to work in factories, on farms, in domestic work, or in other industries. They may be forced into prostitution or other forms of sexual exploitation. They may be tricked or coerced into selling their organs or other body parts.

Victims of human trafficking often face physical, emotional, and psychological harm as a result of their exploitation. They may be subjected to violence, threats, or other forms of abuse. They may be isolated from their families and communities, and may have difficulty accessing help or support.

Overall, being a victim of human trafficking is a traumatic and dehumanizing experience, and it is important to provide victims with the support and resources they need to escape their traffickers and rebuild their lives.
