Human Trafficking Speech

Human Trafficking is the illegal trading of human beings for sexual exploitation or forced labor. There are a few different forms of trafficking. Every form of human trafficking is a violation of human rights and a serious crime. There are specialized roles when it comes to trafficking. Most operate on small-scales and have different roles taken over by different gangs. The different types of roles include recruitment, the providing of forged documents, transportation, bribing police or border officials, being a pimp, and laundering or hiding of the profits.
