Human trafficking is against human dignity and civil rights. Christians seeking to spread compassion and hope often help the efforts of governmental agencies trying to root out the perpetrators and free victims from this modern-day form of slavery.
The National Human Trafficking Resource Center reports that traffickers are people who force, fraud or coerce people into performing work or sex acts against their will. Most often, in the United States, those people are either young girls or immigrants.
