It is also recommended that you view this with a friend or family member for emotional support.
Trying to find things on the internet can be a daunting task with the amount of garbage that can be inserted from anywhere by anybody. It's important to try and find factual information regarding serious topics, such as Human Trafficking. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security defines it as, "Human trafficking involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act." It is done by many different types of people who scamming, smuggling, and raping victims all around the globe. In this article, I want to focus on the United States as the most common misconception I hear or keep coming across online is that it's happening elsewhere and not here. From my experience as a United States Citizen, it very well is happening here. I've been having to deal with different types of Trafficking throughout most of my life. As a way of spreading awareness about this monstrous and large category of a subject, we'll narrow things down to Sex Trafficking specifically since it's done more than any other form of trafficking because it's the most profitable to criminals. Here are five YouTube Videos that I have watched for you to have the opportunity to learn more factual information on this subject.

5. Why Hotels Like Marriott Have a Human Trafficking Problem
