HT Trafficking Awareness Month: Question 2 – What is the primary cause of human trafficking?

As part of our effort to initiate dialogue during Human Trafficking Awareness Month, we wanted to pose another question for discussion. Human trafficking has many causes. Trafficking victims come from a variety of different countries and backgrounds. They are men, women, and children exploited for labor as well as the sex trade. There are multiple reasons why human trafficking, or modern day slavery exists around the world. While we know the causes are numerous, we wanted to pose the question:

What do you think is the primary cause or push factor behind the growing problem of human trafficking?

Register your answer and provide your feedback at the link above. We will share the results in the coming days. Feel free to share this blog post with anyone interested in participating in the discussion.

Thanks!
