Human trafficking is a modern form of slavery. It involves controlling a person through force, fraud or coercion to exploit the victim for forced labor, sexual exploitation or both. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Human Trafficking is the second fastest growing criminal industry and approximately half of all victims are children. Chicago was identified as a national hub for Human Trafficking.
