Human Trafficking

Human Trafficking in North Carolina

Human trafficking is one of the fastest growing crimes in the country and one of North Carolina's most pressing issues.  A crime by which people profit from controlling and exploiting others, human trafficking afflicts victims from all areas for the purposes of commercial sex acts, labor or services. 

North Carolina is among the most affected states. Major interstate highways, a large and transient military population, numerous rural agricultural areas with a high demand for cheap labor, and an increasing number of gangs all contribute to making our state a hotbed for human trafficking.
