Human Trafficking: Global Efforts, Foreign Policy and Data Collection

Human trafficking (also known as trafficking in persons) refers to the subjection of men, women, or children to exploitative conditions that may be tantamount to modern-day slavery. Human traffickers exploit vulnerable individuals for commercial sex and forced labor in a variety of legal and illegal industries, both across the United States and around the world. This book provides an overview of human trafficking and a discussion of the challenges involved in combatting and tracking its prevalence.
