What is Human Trafficking?

A crime that hides in plain sight — targeting the most vulnerable.

Human trafficking is the illegal trade of people for exploitation, including forced labor, sexual abuse, and child exploitation. It’s a serious crime and a violation of human rights that continues to grow in silence.

In Pakistan, men, women, and children fall victim to traffickers through deception, poverty, and coercion. Bahifazat is here to educate the public so communities can recognize and report these crimes.
