  threat or use of force or other forms of
  coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception,
  of the abuse of power or of a position of
  vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of
  payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a
  person having control over another person.

  while boys as young as eleven are to serve as
  child soldiers or to perform forced labor.
• women and children work 18-hour days in atrocious
  conditions, with no breaks.

• The victims are usually paid little to no money
  for their work, and many are there against their
  will.

  children face in the human trafficking industry.
• One of the organizations committed to stopping
  this brutal act is Shared Hope International.
