Can You Spot Sex Trafficking?
Sex trafficking is happening in your community. It is happening in broad daylight. Victims are traveling through your town, they are stopping at your grocery store, your gas stations and staying at your hotels. So why haven’t you seen them?
It is simple… because you likely do not know what to look for. Sex trafficking is a complex crime, however, the indicators are not. Once you understand how these predators operate and the common red flags associated with this crime you increase your chances of identifying trafficking and being able to properly report it drastically.
Imagine how quickly we could stop these exploiters if communities were trained to recognize and report this crime. With so many eyes looking for these victims it would make it much more difficult for these predators to exploit their victims in plain sight. Get trained and join the fight against sex trafficking by being another set of eyes in your community.
