Trafficking does not necessarily involve travel to another county or even long distance nationally, a child can be trafficked within their own area, especially in relation to child sexual exploitation. Exploitation is not just sexual and can include forced labour or domestic services, slavery or practices similar to slavery, servitude or the removal of organs. This could also include county lines.
Some children and young people are moved away from their home town to other locations, for the purpose of exploitation. Although the nature of the information is often anecdotal, more cases continue to come to light.
