Zonta Advocacy Series: Trafficking in Persons

Trafficking in persons (also known as human trafficking) is commonly defined as the use of violence, deception or coercion to transport, recruit or harbor people in order to exploit them for forced prostitution, forced labor, criminality, marriage or organ removal. Each year, thousands of women, men and children fall into the hands of traffickers in their own countries and abroad. Every country in the world is affected by human trafficking and migrant smuggling, either as a country of origin, transit or destination for victims, depending on diverse economic, cultural and historical factors including, but not limited to, gender discrimination, poverty and lack of education. Perpetrators of human trafficking target the marginalized and the impoverished, entrapping victims, the majority of whom are women and girls, for sexual exploitation, forced labor, domestic service, and other forms of exploitation. Join Zonta International and special guests for a conversation on trafficking in persons, its causes, consequences, and what we can do to protect women and girls from this heinous crime and abuse of human rights.
