Resources for Human Trafficking Victims
Human trafficking is a global crisis that affects millions of people, tears families apart, and leaves survivors with lasting trauma. Over 49 million people, including 12 million children, are trapped in modern slavery. Of these people, 28 million are in forced labor.
Globally, human trafficking is a $150 billion industry, according to a report by Polaris. In the U.S., UNICEF reports that human trafficking is the second most profitable criminal activity. Human trafficking relies on deception, coercion, and abuse, and its victims are often isolated, stripped of their freedom, and forced into dangerous situations, while families are left searching for answers.
