Over 27 million people worldwide are being trafficked. Human trafficking is forced labor and can include sexual exploitation. It targets society’s most vulnerable, including racial minorities, women and girls, and others from marginalized groups. Human trafficking strips people of their rights and dignity.

To combat this crisis, people can educate themselves about trafficking, report suspicious activity to authorities, and support organizations helping survivors.
