4. HUMAN TRAFFICKING & MODERN SLAVERY  Human trafficking is a form of modern slavery where people profit from the control and exploitation of others.  Trafficking in persons is a serious crime and a grave violation of human rights.  Although slavery is commonly thought to be a thing of the past, human trafficking still exists today throughout the United States and globally when traffickers use force, fraud, or coercion to control other people for the purpose of engaging in commercial sex or forcing them to provide labor services against their will. Traffickers use violence, threats, deception, debt bondage, and other manipulative tactics to trap victims in horrific situations every day in America. All trafficking victims share one essential experience – the loss of freedom.  Every year, thousands of men, women and children fall into the hands of traffickers, in their own countries and abroad. Almost every country in the world is affected by trafficking, whether as a country of origin, transit or destination for victims.

5.  UNODC, (United Nations Office on Drug and Crime) as guardian of the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (UNTOC) and the Protocols thereto, assists States in their efforts to implement the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons (Trafficking in Persons Protocol).  In 2003, the United Nations ruled that human trafficking was a crime. More than 100 countries signed the protocol and many introduced anti-trafficking legislation. However, human traffickers continue to operate, and this continues to be a big problem.  Reading Activity: “The business of human trafficking”“The business of human trafficking” --the existing problem & efforts to curb and fight human trafficking HUMAN TRAFFICKING & MODERN SLAVERY
