Victims of human trafficking, both international and domestic, share common risk factors and characteristics that place them at risk for being easily trafficked. Regardless of sex, age, immigration status or citizenship, certain commonalities exist among victims of trafficking, such as their vulnerability to be forced through fraud or coercion. Traffickers prey on those with few economic opportunities and those families or individuals that are struggling in survival mode to meet basic needs. Traffickers take advantage of the unequal status of women and girls in disadvantaged countries and communities, and capitalize on the demand for cheap, unprotected labor and the promotion of sex tourism in some countries. Other risk factors include poverty, young age, limited education, lack of work opportunities, lack of family support (e.g., orphaned, runaway, throwaway, homeless, family members collaborating with traffickers), history of previous sexual abuse, sexual identity confusion, drug abuse, health or mental health challenges, and living in high crime areas with rampant police and governmental corruption. Traffickers often deceive their victims through false promises of economic opportunities that await them in more affluent destination countries, such as the United States. Because the United States has a significant market demand for pedophilic consumerism, many criminals outside of the country who want to make large sums of money for trafficking children to the U.S. meet the supply. One child or trafficked girl can be made to have sex with 10 or 15 men per day on average, and so the criminals think of this as a business model with a great return on investment. | Victims of human trafficking, both international and domestic, share common risk factors and characteristics that place them at risk for being easily trafficked.

Obviously if these criminals were hunted down and prosecuted in an effective judicial and legal system that wanted to catch human traffickers and child molesters, this would send the message that children are not for sale in the U.S. The only way this will happen is to educate the public that the people that have been in the highest power positions have been actively protecting these criminal organizations at the behest of the Power Elite crime families. It is only in the last three years, that significant change in executive orders were implemented to go after international human traffickers, seizing their massive wealth in and outside of the United States, by curtailing their ability to access their resources and routes which allow them to continue to make billions from selling humans across the globe. <ref>[https://energeticsynthesis.com/resource-tools/news-shift-timelines/3663-ending-human-trafficking | Obviously if these criminals were hunted down and prosecuted in an effective judicial and legal system that wanted to catch human traffickers and child molesters, this would send the message that children are not for sale in the U.S. The only way this will happen is to educate the public that the people that have been in the highest power positions have been actively protecting these criminal organizations at the behest of the Power Elite crime families.
