Human Trafficking

Human Trafficking, also known as Trafficking In Persons (TIP), is a form of modern day slavery and is against federal and all the law of all States. The number of people that are reported missing ever year averages around 90,000 with around 35,000 being children. Many of these missing persons are exploited for sex with the majority having been abducted by family members in custody battles.

Phobits participates with efforts to stop human trafficking and exploitation. Phobits contributes to these efforts by providing the means to report activities on Phobits that are used for human trafficking and exploitation.

You can be an important part in stopping human trafficking by reporting to both law enforcement authorities and Phobits anything that appears to be activities of human trafficking or exploitation found on Phobits.
