Human Trafficking—A Curse!

Human trafficking or human trading, also known as modern slavery, comprises the use of force, scam, or pressure to obtain any kind of hard work or money-making sex act against the will of the person who is being traded.

Human traffickers may use fierceness, handling, or false assurances of jobs of good salary or dreamy relations to trap victims into being marketed.

 In modern-day slavery, there are a lot of people including man, woman, and children of all ages, color, and races. You will be a wonder to know that today, a large number of people have been trapped in modern day slavery.
