  8. What Human Trafficking is not... The term "human trafficking" is often confused with the term "human smuggling," which is the illegal transport of people across international borders. Human smuggling requires illegal cross-border movement of migrants after what the migrant is free to go. In contrast to human smuggling, the trafficked victims are usually not allowed to leave and are held against their will through acts of coercion, deception or debt bondage.

  9. Domestic Human Trafficking (Canada) Domestic human trafficking is often connected to the sex trade. Women and girls from poor communities across Canada, mostly Aboriginal, are pushed into exploitative industries such as sex work, servitude and forced labour.
