In a nutshell, Human Trafficking is modern day slavery. It is a multi-billion dollar criminal industry that denies freedom to 20.9 million people around the world. Human Trafficking is second only to the drug trade in the criminal industry for prevalence and profitability.  And no matter where you live, chances are it’s happening nearby. From the girl forced into prostitution at a truck stop, to the man discovered in a restaurant kitchen, stripped of his passport and held against his will. All trafficking victims share one essential experience: the loss of freedom.
