Which statement identifies a non-form of trafficking?

• A. Cyber trafficking
• B. Sex trade
• C. Forced labor
• D. Domestic servitude

Answer: (A)

Trafficking categories focus on the type of exploitation a person endures, not just the method used to recruit or control them. Sex trafficking, forced labor, and domestic servitude describe actual exploitation patterns where individuals are coerced or manipulated for sexual purposes or for labor under abusive conditions. Cyber trafficking, by contrast, refers to using online platforms and digital tools to recruit, control, or exploit victims, but it is not by itself a distinct form of exploitation. It’s a mechanism that can enable the other forms, rather than a separate end state of exploitation. So cyber trafficking is the non-form in this framework.
