Despite some widespread beliefs, human trafficking and sexual exploitation are not that uncommon. It is true that victims are usually vulnerable for different reasons, but trafficking can be found in almost any social sphere. The key to successful fight against this abuse is the ability to recognize the signs of trafficking. There are usually patterns in perpetrator’s behavior that point out to intent to engage in trafficking or to trafficking that is already happening. Recognizing these signs in early phase is important in order to limit the damage that trafficking causes.
Key Takeaways:
- Labor trafficking starts with a job offer and them turns into an exploitative relationship.
- Anyone can be a victim of trafficking but it typically involves people who are more vulnerable.
- The best way to reduce trafficking is helping workers understand what their rights and protections are.
“Kidnapping or physical force are rarely part of how labor trafficking situations begin.”
