Human Trafficking
Human being usually has an absolute control over others especially when it comes to issues regarding slavery for a long time. Human trafficking is one of such illegal activities where man controls others. This form of trafficking usually manifests in the form of sex trafficking, trafficking for labor reasons as well as organ trafficking. People have been prone to human trafficking due to poverty and their low social status in the society while others appreciate such trade due to financial gain.
