What is internal trafficking?

Internal trafficking refers to the illegal trade and exploitation of individuals within a country's borders. This can involve forced labor, sexual exploitation, or other forms of coercion, often targeting vulnerable populations such as children and marginalized communities. Unlike international trafficking, which involves crossing national borders, internal trafficking occurs entirely within one nation, making it a significant issue for domestic law enforcement and social services. It highlights the need for awareness, prevention, and victim support within local contexts.
