Human trafficking is defined as the act of tricking or forcing individuals to work for little or no payment, equating to modern-day slavery. Victims are often manipulated through false promises and face brutal conditions, with traffickers profiting from their exploitation. Efforts to combat trafficking include raising awareness, providing victim support, and improving legal frameworks.

Victim Challenges

13. “I didn’t believe in police. I really believed what
my trafficker said. My trafficker said they will
put you in jail; they will send you back… she
said in this country, dogs have more rights. And
I believe. I believe everything she said because
she has been living here for a long time, she
knows, she speaks English, she has money,
everything, and I didn’t have anything.”
“Anika singh”
