Human Trafficking Becoming a Global Issue

Human trafficking has emerged as one of the most profitable illicit trades worldwide, preying on the innocent and vulnerable. Each year, approximately 17,500 individuals are brought into the U.S. and held against their will, with half of them being children as young as four. This modern slavery represents a severe violation of human rights, despite being illegal globally. Organizations like the U.S. "Rescue & Restore" Campaign offer vital resources for victims. Understanding the severity and urgency of this crisis is essential for fostering global change and eradicating these heinous crimes.
