This paper will discuss the ways victims are harmed. A known fact is that there are more human slaves in the world today than ever before.

The problem with human trafficking is so bad that the “United States has a law that allows human trafficking victims to stay in the U.S., because the U.S. Congress recognize and believes that human trafficking victims have “suffer enough”(Human trafficking, 2012).
