What is the definition of Human Trafficking?
The United Nations definition of human trafficking is “The recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation”. It is also important to understand that, the HEART of the concept of TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS is the DENIAL of the LIBERTY of another. In a word, slavery.
