What happens to the girls and women who are the victims of human trafficking?
We know from those who have returned that the traffickers use every means of intimidation to compel their victims obedience. The criminals force their victims into submission through the cruelest and most inhumane forms of intimidation and humiliation. These include rape, torture, death threats, beatings, imprisonment and starvation. Pregnant women are routinely forced to have sex, and their babies murdered after birth. Trafficked persons are sold multiple times as modern day slaves. The sales prices range from $200-$20,000 and up.
