Human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery where individuals are illegally traded for exploitation and forced labor, primarily for the purpose of sexual exploitation, forced labor or involuntary servitude. This heinous crime affects millions of people worldwide, including men, women, and children, who are often lured with promises of a better life but end up being subjected to physical and psychological abuse, rape, and other forms of torture. Human trafficking is a growing problem that requires increased awareness, prevention efforts, and stronger laws to protect victims and prosecute perpetrators.
