What is human trafficking?
Article 3, paragraph (a) of the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons defines Trafficking in Persons as the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation. Exploitation shall include, at a minimum, the exploitation of the prostitution of others or other forms of sexual exploitation, forced labour or services, slavery or practices similar to slavery, servitude or the removal of organs.

About
Hi! My name is Melanie Farrell and I am the creator of this site! I made this webpage after devloping a strong interest in human trafficking following an alternative break trip in the spring. This interest led me to the End It Movement, and I now want to take this movement and bring it to JMU. Join me in the fight against slavery!
