Human trafficking refers to the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring, or receipt of individuals through force, coercion, fraud, or deception - for reasons of exploitation.
Exploitation can take various forms, including forced labour, sexual exploitation, involuntary servitude, debt bondage, or the removal of organs. It is a grave violation of human rights and a serious criminal offence.

There are different forms of human trafficking, and they can be broadly categorised into two main types: sex trafficking and labour trafficking.
SEX TRAFFICKING AND LABOUR TRAFFICKING:
These categories encompass various methods and means used by traffickers to exploit their victims:
• Sex Trafficking:
Forced Prostitution:
Victims, often women and children, are coerced or forced into engaging in commercial sex acts against their will.
Child Exploitation:
Children are trafficked for sexual exploitation, including prostitution, pornography, or other forms of sexual abuse.
Labour Trafficking:
Forced Labour:
Individuals are compelled to work against their will, often under harsh conditions for little or no pay.
This can occur in industries such as agriculture, construction, manufacturing, or domestic work.
Debt Bondage:
Victims are forced to work to repay a debt, but the terms of the debt are manipulated by traffickers, making it virtually impossible for victims to escape the cycle of exploitation.
Child Labour:
Children are forced to work under conditions that are harmful to their physical and mental well-being.
OTHER FORMS:
Domestic Servitude:
Individuals, often migrant workers, are forced to work in private households, performing domestic chores under exploitative conditions.
Organ Trafficking:
Victims may be trafficked for the purpose of organ removal, where their organs are illegally harvested and sold on the black market.
Forced Begging:
Victims, including children, are forced into begging and their earnings are seized by traffickers.
Traffickers use various methods to control and manipulate their victims, including physical violence, threats, deception, debt bondage, and psychological coercion. It is crucial to recognise that human trafficking is a multifaceted issue that can take different forms depending on the cultural, economic, and social context.
Efforts to combat human trafficking involve raising awareness, strengthening legal frameworks, improving law enforcement, providing support for victims, and addressing the root causes such as poverty and inequality.
Human trafficking is a complex and pervasive issue globally, and it manifests in various forms across different regions.
Protecting yourself against human trafficking involves being aware of potential risks and taking proactive steps to stay safe.
