Content: In the US, sex traffickers usually prey upon people with a history of mental, physical and sexual abuse. Sex trafficking may occur in residential brothels, online escort services, hostess clubs, massage businesses, strip clubs and street prostitution. The Internet has been found to be the major strategic tool used to recruit sex trafficking victims. Personal ads on Craigslist, chat rooms, pornography sites and massage business websites may be used to post advertisements for sex related work. Online predators may seek out vulnerable girls and boys and lure them into the sex industry with misleading marketing information. Recent studies show that minors are the most vulnerable population to become sex slaves. War Slavery
Internationally, approximately 2.2 million people are victims of war slavery. This crime may be perpetuated by rebel groups, or it can be enforced by state governments. War slavery may also be called state imposed forced labor, and may be sanctioned by the government. For instance, in Burma, the dictatorship has enslaved thousands of civilians for various military campaigns and construction projects in the past 15 years.
