January is National Human Trafficking Awareness Month. Each year, thousands of people are trafficked globally for the purpose of forced labor and/or s*x trafficking.
Human Trafficking perpetrators use coercive and compelling behaviors to maintain control of the survivor, similar to the coercive control many perpetrators of domestic and s*xual violence use to control their victims. According to Coalition Against Trafficking and Exploitation - CATE 2024 Needs Assessment, 28% of survivors of human trafficking were trafficked by an intimate partner.
