Overview
Human trafficking, a flagrant violation of human rights, compels individuals into labor or commercial sexual activities through force, manipulation, or coercion. It’s not strictly a matter of international or cross-border crime; it’s a pervasive issue affecting individuals globally, including U.S. citizens and foreign nationals. Recognizing its complex nature is vital for global eradication efforts.

Human trafficking stands as one of the most egregious breaches of human dignity and rights. This profound transgression manifests through the calculated manipulation, coercion, or force exerted on individuals, compelling them into labor or commercial sexual exploitation.
It is pivotal to understand that trafficking is not merely an issue of cross-border crime; it does not necessitate the physical transportation of persons across state or international boundaries.
It’s a pervasive concern that can, and does, affect individuals regardless of nationality, including both U.S. citizens and foreign nationals. Recognizing the multi-faceted nature of human trafficking is essential in the global effort to combat and eradicate this deeply entrenched issue.
