Which are the two types of human trafficking?

• A. Sex Trafficking and Labor Trafficking.
• B. Domestic Trafficking and International Trafficking.
• C. Financial Exploitation and Cyber Exploitation.
• D. Age-Based Trafficking and Species Trafficking.

Answer: (A)

The main concept is that human trafficking is categorized by the type of exploitation used against a person, with the two primary forms being sex trafficking and labor trafficking. Sex trafficking means forcing or coercing someone into commercial sex acts through violence, threats, fraud, or manipulation, often to maintain control over the victim. Labor trafficking involves compelling someone to work through deception, coercion, abuse of vulnerability, or threats, typically under exploitative conditions and for little or no pay.

These two categories help responders identify the nature of the exploitation and tailor interventions, support, and legal actions. The other options mix in ideas about where trafficking occurs (domestic vs international), or describe exploitation methods that are broader than the standard trafficking typology (financial or cyber exploitation), or refer to non-human contexts (species trafficking). In short, sex and labor trafficking are the recognized primary forms of exploitation in human trafficking.
