It is a form of modern-day slavery in which traffickers target vulnerable children, then use force, fraud, or coercion to compel them to engage in commercial sex acts. The trafficking of children for sex is a global issue and includes the recruitment, transportation, harboring, and/or obtaining of a child for the purpose of commercial sexual exploitation. Trafficked children are often subjected to physical and mental abuse, rape, and other forms of exploitation. There are three main types of Sex Trafficking of Children or by Force, Fraud, or Coercion: 1. Trafficking through force, fraud, or coercion: This type of trafficking typically involves traffickers using physical or psychological force to compel children into participating in sex acts. This can include threats of violence, manipulation, intimidation, or false promises of a better life. 2. Trafficking by taking advantage of a child's vulnerability: This type of trafficking involves traffickers exploiting a child's vulnerability in order to gain control over them and compel them into participating in sex acts. This can include taking advantage of a child's poverty or lack of education, or exploiting their feelings of isolation or lack of self-confidence. 3. Trafficking through debt bondage: This type of trafficking involves traffickers luring children into debt bondage by offering them goods, services, or money in exchange for performing sex acts. This can include traffickers promising a child money or goods in exchange for sex, or using a child's debt as leverage to compel them into participating in sex acts.
