There are more than 5.5 million children worldwide who are used for forced labor and child trafficking. Human trafficking has been reported in all 50 of the United States. The victims suffer from physical, emotional and sexual abuse. This horrific practice can include prostitution, pornography, and sex tourism as well as labor for domestic service, factory or construction work, and migrant farming.
