Abstract: The road to dismantling human trafficking is to pursue with absolute zeal the perpetrators of this heinous crime – the buying and selling of human beings. The victims cannot speak for themselves. It takes a united, coordinated team to protect the victims and prosecute the traffickers. Human trafficking is a low-risk, high-profit enterprise that relies on fear and coercion to continue to victimize the individuals who suffer from being trafficked. To address human trafficking and its victims, we need a robust prevention education and protection program to ensure victims build self-efficacy skills as well as gain the ability to assess risk and equip them to respond to exploitative situations. This chapter articulates what human trafficking is, highlights the role of prosecutions and offers ways to address the victims. By addressing needs and risk factors, authorities, organizations and advocates will be able to intervene and support victims to escape their trafficking situations and begin new lives.
