It can happen in any community and victims can be any age, race, gender, or nationality. Traffickers might use violence, manipulation, or false promises of well-paying jobs or romantic relationships to lure victims into trafficking situations.
Language barriers, fear of their traffickers, and/or fear of law enforcement frequently keep victims from seeking help, making human trafficking a hidden crime.
In essence, for human trafficking to occur, a trafficker will:
commit at least one act against another person, such as recruiting
by using at least one means, such as violence
for the purpose of exploiting that other person for financial gain or material benefit
Act + Means + Purpose = Human Trafficking
Victim Recruitment
Transporting of victim where they will be abused
Hide from authority
Receiving of victim from other merchants or human trafficker
Pananakot or pagpilit sa biktima
Pagdukot, paglinland o pag-alit sa biktima
Ang pakay nila ay pagsasamantala . Ang trafficker ay nananamantala ng kanilang biktima para sa pansariling kita at kapakinabangan.
Forced labour is any work or service which people are forced to do against their will, under threat of punishment. Almost all slavery practices contain some element of forced labour.
Debt bondage occurs when a person is forced to work to pay off a debt. They are tricked into working for little or no pay, with no control over their debt.
Sex trafficking is human trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation, including sexual slavery. A victim is forced, in one of a variety of ways, into a situation of dependency on their trafficker(s) and then used by said trafficker(s) to give sexual services to customers.
