Our primary mission at Virtus Group International is to protect vulnerable individuals from human trafficking. Our rescue team is highly trained to target traffickers and rescue victims from their grasp. We also work closely with government agencies to ensure a coordinated effort to end this heinous crime. Our expertise in rescue operations makes us a reliable partner to have in the fight against human trafficking. Whether its trafficking online or on the ground, we are there for the fight.
"the feared ones"
We believe that through accomplishing our mission fear will be instilled in those who wish to harm others. Research shows the chance of being caught is vastly more effective as a deterrent to criminal activity over anything else. There is evidence that the perceived probability of arrest must exceed thirty percent before behavior changes. After that, the deterrent effect will continue to increase until the perceived probability reaches about seventy percent.
You may not see the problem, but it’s there. The US State Department estimates there are 24.9 million human trafficking victims worldwide. This is not something that occurs only in dark alleys in the far corners of the Earth, though. It’s happening around the world every day.
Human trafficking is considered modern-day slavery, and there are more slaves today than at any time in history.
Every continent in the world has been involved in human trafficking. In the United States, it is most prevalent in Texas, Florida, New York and California. Human trafficking is both a domestic and global crime, with victims trafficked within their own country, to neighboring countries and between continents. Victims of trafficking can be of any age and any gender. Women and children are often used for sexual exploitation, while men are more likely to be used for forced labor. Globally, about one in five victims of human trafficking are children. Children are also exploited for the purposes of forced begging, child pornography or child labor.
