What is HUMAN TRAFFICKING?
Human trafficking is the act of recruiting, transporting, transferring, harboring, or receiving individuals through force, fraud, or other means of coercion, for the purpose of exploitation. Exploitation includes sexual exploitation, forced labor, servitude, or the removal of organs to be sold on the black market.
It is a violation of fundamental human rights and is referred to as “Modern-Day Slavery.”
Human Trafficking is the fastest-growing enterprise in the world today due to its global expansion and profitability. It is now the second-largest criminal enterprise globally, because of high demand, low risk for traffickers, and massive profits.
Human trafficking generates approximately 150 billion dollars annually.

Native Americans today face some extraordinary challenges.
According to nativehope.org, Native American women are stalked, raped, murdered, sexually assaulted, abused, and suffer domestic violence at a rate 50 times the national average. The second highest number of reported missing persons (9,914 in 2018) are American Indians (AI), Alaskan Natives (AN), Native Hawaiians (NH), or Pacific Islanders (PI), which are grouped together.
These statistics from the Urban Indian Health Institute were compiled from a survey of 71 U.S. cities in 2016.
The numbers speak for themselves: Native American women make up a significant portion of the missing and murdered cases. Not only is the murder rate 10 times higher than the national average for women living on reservations, but murder is the third leading cause of death for Native women.
Native people only make up 2% of the U.S. overall population.
