This multi-media exhibit will allow visitors to learn about the dark underworld where people are bought and sold, living lives as abused and dehumanized slaves. The United Nations Inter-Agency Project on Human Trafficking reports that this criminal activity is second only to drug trafficking. No region of the world, no race, no gender, no age group is beyond the reach of traffickers. This exhibit serves to provide information about human trafficking, but also places the visitor inside this world to experience a small sampling of the hardships faced by victims.

The exhibit, located on ground level, contains links to resources. The experience is divided into three distinct areas that you can visit: Forced Labor, Sexual Exploitation, and Adoption and Marriage.

Warning: Mature subject matter, disturbing audio/visual materials.

Please take a sound badge and wear it before you teleport to the three areas in order to be able to hear the audio as you visit each.

The following links are found in the exhibit.
