Labor traffickers use violence, threats,
lies, and other forms of coercion to force
people to work against their will in
many different industries. Common
types of labor trafficking include people
forced to work in homes as domestic
servants, farmworkers coerced through
violence as they harvest crops, or
factory workers held in inhumane conditions with little to no pay. In the United
States, these forms of forced labor are more prevalent than many people realize.
However, Polaris Project and others working in the human trafficking field are
learning more on a daily basis about the different types of labor trafficking that
exist amongst us. In the United States, the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of
2000 (TVPA) defines labor trafficking as: “The recruitment, harboring,
transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for labor or services, through
the use of force, fraud or coercion for the purpose of subjection to involuntary
servitude, peonage, debt bondage or slavery.” Click here to access resource packs
