North Dakota state law protects against both sex and labor trafficking.
• Sex Trafficking is the promotion, recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, enticement, provision, obtaining, or receipt of a person by any means for the purpose of causing the person to engage in sexual acts or sexual conduct.
• Labor Trafficking is the promotion, recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, enticement, provision, obtaining, or receipt of a person by any means for the purpose of debt bondage or forced labor services, slavery, or removal or organs through the use of coercion or intimidation.
A person is guilty of human trafficking if they benefit financially or receive anything of value from knowing participation in human trafficking, if the victim of trafficking is under 18 or if they promote, recruit, entice, harbor, transport, provide or obtain by any means another person, knowing that the person will be subject to human trafficking.
