No
country is immune from human trafficking.
Victims
are forced into prostitution or to work in quarries
and
sweatshops,
on farms, as domestics, as child soldiers,
and in
many forms of involuntary servitude.
Traffickers
often target children
and young women.
They
routinely trick victims with promises of employment,
educational
opportunities, marriage, and a better life.
