Human Trafficking is the enslavement and transporting of people, primarily women, children, and ethnic minorities for the purpose of exploitation.

Victims
Most often they are forced into prostitution, forced labor, and soldiering. The rate of trafficking from a country increases after civil unrest or war. Often the victims have been tricked by promises of economic advancement and legal work. The primary social factors that support human trafficking are increasing demands for cheap labor, the expanding sex tourism trade, increasing demands for adoption-available children, and poor law enforcement.People Smuggling
Human trafficking is different from "people smuggling". People smuggling refers to a person who is seeking to cross an international border through an unauthorized entry point. People smuggling is a term used by refugees fleeing from prosecution. In human trafficking, people are usually tricked or forced during the process of being transported. When a person is 'smuggled', the transport is usually voluntary, and the person being transported sometimes pays a fee.
