Human Trafficking

     Human Trafficking can be forced labor, forced prostitution, forced marriage, and the transportation of people from one place to another so that they can be forced into work. Around the world there are millions of people that are forced into trafficking. They are forced to work in fields, factories, and to beg on the street for money to take back to their owners. A lot of the time if people try to escape they will be beaten or even killed. Sometimes the owners of the slaves use threats to keep their slaves scared enough to not want to escape.




       A 9-year-old girl toils under the hot sun, making bricks from morning to night, seven days a week. She was trafficked with her entire family from Bihar, one of the poorest and most underdeveloped states in India, and sold to the owner of a brick-making factory. With no means of escape, and unable to speak the local language, the family is isolated and lives in terrible conditions.
