Myths and Facts about Human Trafficking in the U.S.

  • Fact: Even though the Bureau of Justice Statistics reports that arrests have been down in recent years, from 2015-2020, states independently reported 2,169 arrests to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting Program for Human Trafficking in relation to involuntary servitude (i) and commercial sex crimes (ii). 32 states reported a minimum of 1 human trafficking crime in 2019.

  • Fact: In the Polaris Project’s report “Sex Trafficking in the U.S. : A Closer Look at U.S. Citizen Victims”, they state that nearly 6,000 sex trafficking cases involved American citizens when they published their paper in 2015.

  • Fact: Human trafficking is defined as “the unlawful act of transporting or coercing people in order to benefit from their work or service, typically in the form of forced labor or sexual exploitation” (Oxford Languages). Human smuggling is strictly the movement of people across borders, though smuggling can become exploitative and therefore would be classified as human trafficking.

  • Fact: Victims may not be willing to seek help as they could be concerned for their own wellbeing or for that of others due to threats of violence from their trafficker(s).
