Human Trafficking
A Critical Fight For Freedom
Human trafficking is a global crisis that affects millions of people, including children, women, and men. It is a grave violation of human rights, where individuals are coerced into labor or commercial sex acts through force, fraud, or deception. At Blue Rose Foundation, we are committed to combating this atrocity and providing support to survivors.
Understanding Human Trafficking
Human trafficking encompasses both sex trafficking and labor trafficking. Traffickers exploit individuals for financial gain, often using severe coercion and control methods.
Sex Trafficking:
Victims are forced into sexual activities against their will, often trapped in cycles of abuse and manipulation.
Labor Trafficking:
Victims are exploited for labor under threats, violence, or deception, working in harsh conditions with little or no compensation.
The Scope of the Crisis:
Global Statistics:
Children at Risk:
15 million of these slaves are children. An estimated 5 million children are in sex trafficking with 12 as the average age. In the US 324,000 children on the unaccompanied minor program are unaccounted for.
