Human trafficking is a modern form of slavery where people are exploited for labor or commercial sex. Millions of people worldwide and tens of thousands in the US fall victim to traffickers each year. Victims are typically coerced through venues like strip clubs, brothels, traveling sales crews or agricultural worksites. The US government is committed to working with other countries to stop human trafficking and uphold human dignity. Citizens can help by learning to identify signs of victims and reporting suspected trafficking to authorities.
