Pimps or traffickers are responsible for running the supply aspect of the sex trafficking industry. Each uses their own tactics to recruit, manipulate and exploit the women and children involved.

Second, a victim of trafficking experiences a lot of complex trauma and often times is too fearful to testify against their trafficker.
