Human trafficking is a grave crime that consists of the exploitation of men, women, and children for profit. This lucrative type of human rights violation affects millions of victims worldwide, including every region of the United States. The National Human Trafficking Hotline identified over 10,000 cases of both sex and labor trafficking in 2021, involving a total of 16,710 victims of different age groups, nationalities, races, and backgrounds. Unfortunately, many myths and misconceptions still surround human trafficking, and the hidden nature of the crime hinders the availability of accurate data.
