On February 1, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln approved the Joint 
Resolution of Congress submitting the proposed amendment to the state 
legislatures. The necessary number of states (three-fourths) ratified it 
by December 6, 1865. The 13th Amendment to the United States 
Constitution provides that "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, 
except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly 
convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to 
their jurisdiction."

With the adoption of the 13th Amendment, the United States found a final 
constitutional solution to the issue of slavery. The 13th Amendment, 
along with the 14th and 15th, is one of the trio of Civil War amendments 
that greatly expanded the civil rights of Americans.

You mean illegal sex & work traffickers:

Human Trafficking & Forced Labor

Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and human rights indexes estimate 
that hundreds of thousands of people are subjected to forced labor and 
sexual exploitation in the United States at any given time. Traffickers 
often use force, fraud, or coercion to trap victims in agricultural 
work, domestic servitude, and the sex trade, frequently stripping them 
of identification documents or threatening them with violence.
