The three types of human trafficking are:
-
Sex Trafficking: This involves the exploitation of individuals through forced or coerced sexual activity. Victims may be lured or forced into the sex trade, and they often suffer severe psychological and physical abuse.
-
Labor Trafficking: This type involves the exploitation of individuals for labor purposes under coercive conditions. Victims may be forced to work in various industries, such as construction, agriculture, or domestic servitude, often in unsafe and unfair conditions, with little or no pay.
-
Child Trafficking: This specifically targets minors and includes both sex trafficking and labor trafficking. Children may be trafficked for sexual exploitation, forced labor, or even illegal adoptions. They are especially vulnerable and often subjected to severe abuse and neglect.
Each type of trafficking poses significant threats to the rights and well-being of victims, and addressing this issue requires focused efforts from governments, organizations, and communities.
