WPSD Local. Illinois.
Illinois has the eighth highest number of human tracking cases reported in the country, according to the National Human Trafficking Hotline. But, a new poll from Southern Illinois University found most people in the state are in the dark on this issue.
The U.S. Department of State defines human trafficking as “the act of recruiting, harboring, transporting, providing, or obtaining a person for compelled labor or commercial sex acts through the use of force, fraud, or coercion.”
