Trafficking in Persons Protocol : A 2000 United Nations treaty protocol defining trafficking in persons and requiring measures to prevent it and protect victims. Its definition supplies the widely used international framework for identifying trafficking.
Sex trafficking : Human trafficking for the purpose of commercial sexual exploitation. It is one prominent form of exploitation addressed by trafficking laws and services.
Migrant smuggling : The procurement of a person’s illegal entry into a country where that person is not a national or permanent resident, for financial or material benefit. Smuggling concerns unlawful border entry; trafficking concerns exploitation and can occur without crossing a border.
Trauma-informed care : An approach to services that recognizes trauma’s effects and emphasizes safety, trust, choice, and collaboration. It can reduce the risk that support systems reproduce coercion or distress for survivors.
Human trafficking statistics : Quantitative data on detected trafficking cases, affected people, and related patterns. Hidden exploitation and inconsistent definitions make the true scale difficult to estimate.
Coercion : The use of force, threats, or pressure to compel someone to act against their will. Threats and force can secure compliance and prevent people from leaving exploitation.
Labor trafficking : Human trafficking for exploitation through labor or services. It occurs in industries where workers can be controlled through threats, debt, or withheld wages.
Human migration : Movement of people from one place to another, within or across national borders. Migration is broader than trafficking, and most migration does not involve trafficking.
Victim identification : The process of recognizing people who may have been trafficked and assessing their need for protection and assistance. Misidentification can leave exploited people without support or expose them to penalties.
Human trafficking law : National and international laws that prohibit trafficking and establish prevention, prosecution, and victim-protection measures. Differences in legal definitions and enforcement shape which cases are recognized and how they are handled.
