Human trafficking is a widespread and often-invisible crime that takes place both around the world and in our own backyards. It is the act of compelling someone into work or commercial sex acts through force, fraud, or coercion. Although it is illegal everywhere, human trafficking happens everywhere, including in our own community. Whether or not we recognize it, this is an issue we all touch on every day through both our professional and personal lives.
