Human trafficking, also known as trafficking in persons, is a vile and pervasive criminal industry where traffickers exploit and profit from adults and children through forced labor or commercial sex. Notably, any commercial sex act involving a minor under 18 (19 in Nebraska) is considered a crime, regardless of the presence of force, fraud, or coercion. This modern form of slavery can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, race, or religious background.
The need for specialized programs and safe housing in Nebraska is immense, as it ranks 15th1,2 out of all 50 US states for the highest human trafficking incidence rates. The state’s highway systems serve as the main arteries for trafficking. Data from the Women’s Fund of Omaha indicates that commercial sex trafficking affects nearly every town and city along Interstate 80.
