Human trafficking is an act in which a victim is pressured to perform labor or a commercial sex act through force, fraud, or coercion (Lawrence & Bauer, 2020). Modern-day slavery is another term for human trafficking (Sanchez et al., 2019) because victims are recruited or taken again their will, suppressed, and often transported to work in commercial labor or sex markets (Byrne et al., 2019). There are two main types of human trafficking: forcing victims to work and provide services or forcing victims to perform commercial sexual acts (United States Department of Justice, 2022). Sex trafficking is the fastest-growing form of human trafficking in the world (Sanchez et al., 2019). If a person younger than 18 years old is commanded to participate in a commercial sex act, it is a crime regardless of whether there is any force, fraud, or coercion (Washburn, 2018). These victims are typically vulnerable populations including children and adolescents or undocumented individuals; young females are exploited more frequently than young males (Bauer et al., 2019). Often, victims know their traffickers and may have been groomed by them; it is important to keep in mind that the trafficker may be a family member or significant other (Doiron & Peck, 2022). Research suggests that there are 40.3 million persons forced into labor with 3.8 million adults and one million children coerced into commercial sexual exploitation (Sanchez et al., 2019). Human trafficking is the most prosperous illegal activity, second only to unlawful drug sales (McCarthy & Marshall, 2018).
