The key distinction between trafficking and smuggling lies in the individuals freedom of choice. A person may choose and arrange to be smuggled into a country, but when a person is forced into a situation of exploitation where their freedom is taken away, they are then a victim of human trafficking. Human Smuggling is a crime against an international border and an evasion of immigration laws; Human Trafficking is a crime against people and a violation of human rights.
