የሰዎች ዝውውር* የሰራተኛና የወሲብ ንግድን ያመለክታል።
የጉልበት ዝውውር means forcing or tricking someone to work through lies, threats or pressure. This can include bringing them from one place to another and making them work to pay off a debt or keeping them in a job they cannot leave.
Sex trafficking አንድ ሰው ለገንዘብ ወይም ለዋጋ ያለው ነገር ሲል በወሲብ ድርጊቶች ውስጥ እንዲሳተፍ ለማድረግ ውሸትን፣ ግፊትን ወይም ኃይልን መጠቀም ማለት ነው። እንዲሁም ከ 18 በታች የሆነ ሰው ያለ ኃይል ወይም ዛቻ እንኳን ይህን እንዲያደርግ የሚገደድበትን ማንኛውንም ሁኔታ ያካትታል።
*The official state definitions can be found in § 19.2-327.15 of the Virginia Code.
ዕድሜ፣ ዘር፣ ጾታ ወይም ዜግነት ሳይለይ ማንኛውም ሰው የሰዎች ዝውውር ሰለባ ሊሆን ይችላል። Virginia ተጎጂዎች እንደ ሕዝቧ የተለያዩ ናቸው፤ ሆኖም ግን፣ የተወሰኑ ቡድኖች የበለጠ ተጋላጭ ናቸው።
Virginia ከሚኖሩ የሰዎች ዝውውር ሰለባዎች ውስጥ አንድ አራተኛ የሚሆኑት ለአካለ መጠን ያልደረሱ ናቸው። ያልተረጋጋ የኑሮ ሁኔታ ያለባቸው ልጆች - ለምሳሌ ቤት አልባነት የሚያጋጥማቸው፣ የሸሹ ወይም በማደጎ እንክብካቤ ስርዓት ውስጥ ያሉ - ብዙውን ጊዜ እንደ ተንከባካቢ እና ጓደኛ አድርገው በመምሰል በማህበራዊ ሚዲያ ወይም በአዘዋዋሪዎች ይዘዋወራሉ። የጥቃት ታሪክ ያላቸው፣ በወጣቶች የፍትህ ስርዓት ውስጥ ተሳትፎ ያላቸው እና ድህነት የሚያጋጥማቸው ልጆች በእነዚህ ተግዳሮቶች ምክንያት የመጠቀም እድላቸው ከፍተኛ ነው። በተጨማሪም፣ LGBTQ ወጣቶች ቤት አልባነት ካጋጠማቸው መካከል ባልተመጣጠነ ሁኔታ ይወከላሉ፣ ይህም ለአዘዋዋሪዎች ያላቸውን ተጋላጭነት ይጨምራል።
Immigrants, noncitizens and people of color are also disproportionately affected by human trafficking. Undocumented immigrants and individuals who speak limited English are more vulnerable to exploitation due to language and legal barriers. In a 2023 report from the Virginia Commission on Human Trafficking Prevention and Survivor Support, nearly 40% of identified adult survivors of human trafficking were Black females.
In 2024, the National Human Trafficking Hotline received 661 signals, or tips, in the state of Virginia. The tips led to 228 cases involving 342 victims. Of these cases, at least 115 were identified as sex trafficking, 61 as labor trafficking, and 26 as both.
The most common venues for sex trafficking cases in Virginia include, but are not limited to, spas, resident-based commercial sex work, hotels, strip clubs and online ads. The most common venues for labor trafficking include construction sites, food service and transportation.
Identifying Sex Trafficking in Child Welfare is a training course designed for local departments of social services staff and community partners within the Commonwealth of Virginia. The purpose of this training is to raise awareness regarding the impact of human trafficking - particularly commercial sex trafficking - on vulnerable youth in foster care, runaways and those experiencing abuse, neglect or other family dysfunction in their homes. Federal and state efforts to combat this problem are outlined, along with strategies for local detection and intervention.
