Learn How to Spot Human Trafficking

Language barriers, fear of their traffickers, and/or fear of law enforcement frequently keep victims from seeking help, making human trafficking a hidden crime.

Traffickers often look for people who seem susceptible for a variety of reasons, including psychological or emotional vulnerability, economic hardship, lack of a social safety net, natural disasters, or political instability. The trauma caused by these traffickers can be so great that many victims may not even identify themselves as victims, or ask for help, even in highly public settings.
