Human Trafficking - art and reflection by Sara Gunderson

Human trafficking occurs daily in nearly every country on the globe, ranging from exploitive working conditions to out-and-out slavery.

In an effort to escape or even just relieve the poverty they live in, individual adult and children and even whole families fall victim to traffickers.

The victims of trafficking can be found not only in agricultural and industrial venues, but also in private homes.

While hundreds of thousands of people are trafficked across international borders every year, millions are trafficked within their own countries. And the worldwide profit to the traffickers runs in the billions of dollars.
