What are the needs of trafficking victims? Why don't more victims reach out for help? What are the challenges faced by law enforcement? What can I do to help? John Vanek, nationally recognized authority on the response to human trafficking, along with eighteen expert contributors, answers these and other commonly-asked questions about one of the greatest human rights violations today: human trafficking.
