Human trafficking involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain labor or induce commercial sex. Every year, millions of men, women, and children are trafficked in countries around the world, including the United States. There are different types of human trafficking: Sex Trafficking Victims are manipulated or forced to engage in sex acts for another's commercial gain.Sex trafficking is not prostitution.Anyone under the age of 18 engaging in commercial sex is a victim of human trafficking. No exceptions. Forced Labor Victims are compelled to work for little or no pay,often manufacturing or growing products we use and consume daily. Common forced labor industries include but are not limited to construction, manufacturing, and agriculture. Domestic.Servitude Victims are forced to work every day,sometimes for long hours, for little or no pay as nannies, housekeepers,or domestic help.Their traffickers often take and hold their identification documents. PARTNERING WITH BLUE CAMPAIGN Blue Campaign efforts are designed to contribute to four long-term outcomes aligned under two foundational elements; protection and prevention. Protection outcomes aim to increase awareness about how to respond to human trafficking and prevention outcomes aim to stop the crime before it happens. Campaign partners are organizations that can provide meaningful contributions to these long-term outcomes.
