Victims	This woman in her early 20s was trafficked into a blue jean sweatshop, where she and other young women were locked in and made to work 20 hours a day, sleeping on the floor, with little to eat and no pay. [photo by Kay Chernush for the U.S. State Department]
Victims	Burmese migrants who are often trafficked onto fishing ships are kept at sea for months and even years at a time. If they protest and ask to be put ashore, they may be threatened at gunpoint and locked in containers, or fired and not paid for their work. [photo by Kay Chernush for the U.S. State Department]
Victims	A 9-year-old girl toils under the hot sun, making bricks from morning to night, seven days a week. She was trafficked with her entire family from Bihar, one of the poorest and most underdeveloped states in India, and sold to the owner of a brick-making factory. With no means of escape, and unable to speak the local language, the family is isolated and lives in terrible conditions. [photo by Kay Chernush for the U.S. State Department]
Victims	Human trafficking involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to enslave a person. Sometimes traffickers use a bond, or debt, to keep a person trapped. Many workers around the world fall victim to debt bondage when they assume a debt as part of their employment, or inherit debt in more traditional systems of bonded labor. Especially in South Asia, people can be trapped in debt bondage from generation to generation. [photo by Kay Chernush for the U.S. State Department]
Victims	Carpet weavers like this family are usually Dalits or "Untouchables," the lowest caste in South Asian society. In many instances, the children are helping a family member, or someone else in their village who has fallen into debt. An offer is made to place a loom in their hut so they can pay off their debt, but this only ensures their enslavement, sometimes for generations. [photo by Kay Chernush for the U.S. State Department]
Victims	Before being rescued by an Indian non-governmental organization affiliated with Free the Slaves, most of these children were forced to work on carpet or sari looms from morning to night. Some were bonded and some were born to bonded laborers who had received an "advance" against their birth. Initially fearful and withdrawn, the children have blossomed in the protected environment of this special school. [photo by Kay Chernush for the U.S. State Department]
Victims	Young men sew beads and sequins in intricate patterns onto saris and shawls at a "zari" workshop in Mumbai, India. The boys, who arrive by train from impoverished villages across India, often work from six in the morning until two in the morning the next day. Some sleep on the floor of the workshop. If they make the smallest mistake, they might be beaten. All say they work to send money back to their families, but some employers are known to withhold their meager pay. [photo by Kay Chernush for the U.S. State Department]
Victims	Street kids, runaways, or children living in poverty can fall under the control of traffickers who force them into begging rings. Children are sometimes intentionally disfigured to attract more money from passersby. Victims of organized begging rings are often beaten or injured if they don't bring in enough money. They are also vulnerable to sexual abuse. [photo by Kay Chernush for the U.S. State Department]
Victims	This brothel keeper and her slaves are in a red-light district in Mumbai, India. The women and girls used in prostitution may be exploited 10 to 40 times a night, sometimes keeping as little as 20 rupees (less than 50 cents) per encounter. The Madam takes the biggest cut for herself, then pays the landlord, the pimps, and her "protectors." Government corruption is one of the driving factors behind the burgeoning trade in human beings. [photo by Kay Chernush for the U.S. State Department]
Victims	At Mumbai's central train station, young boys like this one arrive daily from rural India thinking they will find work in order to send money home, but the boys often fall prey to unscrupulous traffickers and corrupt officials. [photo by Kay Chernush for the U.S. State Department]
Victims	A Roma (gypsy) child finds herself on the side of a road in northern Italy, ironically wearing a shirt that proclaims, "Outsider." Her family, which fled the ethnic turmoil in Bosnia, is always on the move. Poverty, discrimination, and social customs combine to make Roma children vulnerable to trafficking. [photo by Kay Chernush for the U.S. State Department]
Victims	UK - Life of despair: foreign girls are being lured to Scotland under false pretences, held captive and forced to work as prostitutes under threat of violence if they do not comply. Many are sold on over and over again for around £7,000 a time. [Photograph: Robert Perry]
