Human trafficking is slavery

Every year thousands of people are being trafficked into South Africa and sold into forced labour or prostitution.

Victims of trafficking are people who are forced to work as slaves in foreign countries. They accpet attractive job offers abroad without knowing that these offers are false. They are forced into prostitution or labour with little or no pay to make money for their traffickers.

They may be violently abused and made to repay large sums of money to their traffickers. Their passports may be taken away. They cannot escape.
