trafficker
A person who is involved in recruiting or moving a child or adult with the intention
to expose them to exploitation. A ‘trafficker’ is distinguished from a ‘smuggler’ or
other intermediary who helps a child leave home or cross a border illegally because
of the “trafficker’s” expectation that the child will subsequently be exploited.
The term ‘trafficker’ also refers to a person who makes money exploiting a child
when it is the same person who has arranged their transportation.
