What is human trafficking? Human trafficking is when a person is forced, tricked, or persuaded to engage in sex acts for favors or money, or when a person is forced, tricked or persuaded to work at any other place of employment, such as a restaurant, nail salon, factory, private home, grocery store, farm or as part of a traveling sales crew. When under the age of 18, anyone who engages in sex acts for favors or money has experienced human trafficking, even if there is no clear force, fraud or coercion present in their situation. Survival sex exists when individuals over the age of 18 have traded sex acts to meet the basic needs of survival (i.e. food, shelter, etc) without being forced, tricked, or persuaded by someone else, but who felt that their circumstances left little or no other option. |
