Human Trafficking involves an act of recruiting, transporting, transferring, harboring or receiving a person through a use of force, coercion or other means, for the purpose of exploiting them.
The United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime estimates that there are currently 27 million people that are enslaved by this crime around the world. Human Trafficking is a $32 billion a year illegal industry, claiming victims as young as 4 years old, and second only to drug trafficking in magnitude. Examples of this crime include sexual exploitation of children and women through various forms of prostitution, forced restaurant and agricultural labor, domestic servitude, and a great deal more. Not For Sale Arkansas formed to initiate and facilitate efforts in Arkansas to combat this crime locally, nationally, and across the globe.
