According to the Attorney General's 2001 report, an estimated 14,000 people are trafficked into the United States each year, although, again because trafficking is illegal, accurate statistics are difficult to compile.
Human trafficking is the buying, selling and smuggling of people to profit from their forced labor or sexual servitude.While every state criminalizes at least some trafficking activity, lawmakers continue to explore new methods to combat traffickers and provide support for victims.wo significant areas of focus within this legislation address the trafficking of children and the development of rehabilitative services for exploited youth. Legislation containing protective provisions for trafficked children is sometimes called âsafe harborâ laws.
