Understanding the Role of Transportation in Human Trafficking in California

项目名称：	Understanding the Role of Transportation in Human Trafficking in California
摘要：	Human trafficking, a form of modern slavery, is the recruitment, transport, transfer of persons using force, fraud or coercion to exploit them for act of labor or sex. According to the International Labor Organization, human trafficking is the fastest growing organized crime with approximately $150 billion in annual profits and 40.3 million individuals trapped in slave-like conditions. The transportation industry plays a critical role in combating human trafficking as traffickers often rely the transportation system to recruit, move or transfer victims of human trafficking for either sex or forced labor. Additionally, transportation is used to move goods (potentially through importation and exportation) produced by forced and trafficked labor. Recognizing the importance of transportation, multiple anti-trafficking stakeholders in California have started initiatives to address the problem. This project investigates the role of transportation in combatting human trafficking in California by conducting a multi-methods study combining analysis of existing reports and databases, surveys, as well as semi-structured in-depth interviews with key stakeholders.
