Human trafficking involves exploiting people through force, fraud or coercion for forced labor, domestic servitude, or commercial sex. It has existed for thousands of years in various forms. People are commonly trafficked due to unemployment, poverty, discrimination or false promises of employment. Victims face physical and psychological harm as well as loss of freedom. Efforts to prevent human trafficking include increasing awareness, praying for victims and pursuing justice, getting involved with anti-trafficking organizations, and educating others.

4. Background Of Human Trafficking
• Human trafficking and exploitation has been in existence
across the globe for thousands of years. From the ancient
Greek and Romans to the medieval times, and up until
today, humans have been subject to various forms of
physical and sexual slavery.
• Although forms of slavery existed before the 1400, the
1400s marked the start of European slave trading in Africa
with the Portuguese transporting people from Africa to
Portugal and using them as slaves. In 1562, the British
joined in on the slave trade in Africa. The development of
plantation colonies increased the volume of the slave trade.
Later on throughout the 1600s, other countries became more
involved in the European slave trade. These included Spain,
North America, Holland, France, Sweden, and Denmark
