International Legal Protections

Trafficking in persons and related abuses are prohibited under international human rights law. Governments are specifically obligated to take appropriate steps to eradicate forced trafficking in persons, exploitation of prostitution, slavery-like practices, forced labor, and coerced marriage. Despite these obligations, governments have allowed the practice of forced prostitution of women and girls to flourish.
