Trafficking of Women

Med_wmntraffickg Trafficking of women is the illegal practice of using force, coercion, or deception to move women and girls across national or state borders for both sexual and labor exploitation, and subjecting them to involuntary acts such as prostitution. Traffickers deny their victims basic human rights and use coercive tactics including intimidation, isolation, the threat and use of physical force, or debt bondage to control their victims.
