NC Human Trafficking  ,[object Object],[object Object]
In 2004, NC was identified as a destination state of international trafficking victims in a US Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, along with California, Florida, New York, Hawaii, Georgia, Alaska, and Texas.
North Carolina's vulnerability to trafficking is enhanced by several factors, including its military bases, its location on the I-95 corridor, and its large undocumented immigrant population.

In North Carolina (NC), legislative attention has also turned to sex trafficking over the last few years. Two trafficking laws have been passed by the NC General Assembly. Session Law 2006-247, amending the previous sex offender law, was passed in August, 2006 and became effective on December 1 of the same year, making human trafficking a class F felony and the trafficking of a minor a Class C felony.
NCGS 14-43.11 ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Session Law 2007-547 was signed into law and became effective on August 31, 2007. The law allows victims of trafficking legal access to services and protects them from being treated as criminals, regardless of their legal status.
It also calls for the NC Justice Academy to establish an appropriate protocol for training law enforcement officers. Additionally, Basic Law Enforcement Training will address human trafficking, focusing specifically on ensuring that victims of human trafficking are treated as victims and provided appropriate services, regardless of their legal status.
The NC Governors Crime Commission concedes that there are no good statistics available in NC, adding that accurate statistics are difficult to find anywhere.
