According to HumanTraffickingHotline.org, Human trafficking can happen to anyone but some people are more vulnerable than others. The most vulnerable are likely to:
- Have an unstable living situation
- Have previously experienced other forms of violence
- Have run away or are involved in the juvenile justice or child welfare system
- Are undocumented immigrants
- Are facing poverty
- Or have or have a family member who has a substance use issue
In 2023, be a difference maker. Become aware of the warning signs and determine to be an advocate for those experiencing this horrible crime.
