I mean with things like sex trafficking, labor trafficking, etc. IMO it should be called slavery, and those affected need to be rescued from slavery.

A pimp enslaves people

The Tate Brothers (allegedly) enslaved people.

IMO, referring to sex/labor trafficking to slavery will show it just how evil it actually is.

If you want a concrete example of the difference, let's say I kidnap someone and keep them as a slave. That's simply me enslaving someone.

Now let's say I kidnap someone and sell them to someone else who keeps them as a slave. What have I done? I've trafficked a human.

    The name for an entire epoch of history contradicts your claim.
