❓What is Human Trafficking?
Human trafficking is the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of people through force, fraud or coercion, with the aim of exploiting them for profit. Men, women and children of all ages can become victims.
🌍Where Does It Happen?
Human Trafficking happens EVERYWHERE. Approximately 400,000 people are trafficked in the United States. After drug trafficking, it is the second largest illegal activity globally.
📊The Funding Gap
Sex trafficking in the Western world illegally grosses over $80,000 per person. Despite the magnitude of the crisis, less than 2% of U.S. charitable funding is devoted to combating trafficking.
