“Human trafficking is often a hidden crime that knows no boundaries. By some estimates, as many as 24.9 million people - adults and children — are trapped in a form of modern slavery around the world, including in the United States. Human traffickers exploit others through forced labor or commercial sex, and traffickers’ profit from their victims’ horrific suffering.”
