Human trafficking has been described as one of the most atrocious crimes against humanity. It is described as a new modern-day form of slavery which involves the exploitation of humans for the sexual gratification of others and/or the exploitation of humans for any form of labor. Human trafficking is essentially enslavement or involuntary servitude where victims are forced to labor against their will and various control techniques, such as severe physical punishment, are in place not only to prevent escape, but also to inhibit victims from testifying against their trafficker.
