Human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery where people profit from the exploitation of others. Human trafficking is the use of force, fraud, or coercion to compel someone to provide labor or services such as sexual acts, cleaning or farming that generate a monetary value (cash, debt forgiveness, shelter, etc.) for the trafficker. However, if the victim is a minor force, fraud or coercion is not required for the act to be considered human trafficking. Transportation from one place to another also is not required for human trafficking to occur.
