Labor Trafficking
Labor trafficking is a form of human trafficking where individuals are forced or coerced into working under exploitative conditions. Victims may be subjected to physical or psychological abuse, often in industries such as agriculture, construction, or domestic work. They may be promised good jobs but end up in situations where they cannot leave due to threats, debt bondage, or manipulation.
This crime affects people of all ages and backgrounds, and it often goes unnoticed. Organizations like the International Labor Organization work to combat labor trafficking by raising awareness and promoting policies that protect workers' rights. Efforts to address this issue include stricter laws and support services for victims.
