World Vision Wednesday

Ten things you need to know about human trafficking:

1. Girls are trafficked into many industries beside brothels

2. Trafficking is visible; trafficking is accepted

3. Dirty jobs fuel trafficking demand

4. People smuggling is not considered trafficking

5. Trafficking victims most often "rescue themselves"

6. Adoption is still a trafficking risk

9. Disability is attractive to traffickers
