Human trafficking is a serious crime and violation of human rights, involving the use of force, coercion, or fraud to exploit a person into slave labor or sexual exploitation.

Human trafficking can happen to people of all ages and genders, and any race or religious background. Women are often used for sexual exploitation while men are usually used for forced labor.

It is believed that one in five human trafficking victims are children, exploited for begging, child pornography, or child labor.

Florida is listed as being in the top 5 states in the US with the highest rates for human trafficking in 2020.

Women of Kulture, Inc is a Florida non-profit organization whose mission is to celebrate diversity, promote gender equality and empower women and children. www.WomenofKulture.org
