Human trafficking within our borders?

Answered by: 

Question: 
Does human trafficking require movement?
Answer: 

In contrast to human smuggling, human trafficking does not require movement. Human traffickers can exploit individuals within the border of a country, and even in a victim’s own home. Human trafficking can also begin as human smuggling, as individuals who enter a country voluntarily and illegally are inherently vulnerable to abuse and exploitation, and often owe a large debt to their smuggler.
