Editing Slavery (section)

=== Trafficking ===
Victims of [[human trafficking]] are typically recruited through deceit or trickery (such as a false job offer, false migration offer, or false marriage offer), sale by family members, recruitment by former slaves, or outright abduction. Victims are forced into a "debt slavery" situation by coercion, deception, fraud, intimidation, isolation, threat, physical force, debt bondage or even [[force-feeding]] with drugs to control their victims.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.amnestyusa.org/violence-against-women/end-human-trafficking/trafficking-faq/page.do?id=1108432&n1=3&n2=39&n3=738 |title=Trafficking FAQs – Amnesty International USA |publisher=[[Amnesty International]] |date=March 30, 2007 |access-date=August 29, 2010 |archive-url=http://arquivo.pt/wayback/20090708085725/http://www.amnestyusa.org/violence-against-women/end-human-trafficking/trafficking-faq/page.do?id=1108432&n1=3&n2=39&n3=738 |archive-date=July 8, 2009 }}</ref> "Annually, according to U.S. government-sponsored research completed in 2006, approximately 800,000 people are trafficked across national borders, which does not include millions trafficked within their own countries. Approximately 80% of transnational victims are women and girls, and up to 50% are minors, reports the U.S. State Department in a 2008 study.<ref>{{Cite web |date=December 5, 2008 |title=Lost Daughters – An ongoing tragedy in Nepal |url=https://womennewsnetwork.net/2008/12/05/lostdaughternepal808/ |access-date=February 6, 2021 |website=Women News Network |archive-date=June 12, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180612162847/https://womennewsnetwork.net/2008/12/05/lostdaughternepal808/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

While the majority of trafficking victims are women who are [[forced prostitution|forced into prostitution]] (in which case the practice is called sex trafficking), victims also include men, women and children who are forced into [[manual labour]].<ref name="state. gov">{{cite web|url=https://2001-2009.state.gov/g/tip/rls/tiprpt/2005/46606.htm |title=US State Department Trafficking report |publisher=State.gov |access-date=August 29, 2010}}</ref> Because of the illegal nature of human trafficking, its extent is unknown. A U.S. government report, published in 2005, estimates that about 700,000 people worldwide are trafficked across borders each year.
