In honor of Human Trafficking Awareness & Prevention month, we wanted to provide you with a list of our most-used collateral!

Do you know what victims of human trafficking typically look like? There are 3 things to look for: Appearance, Behavior, and Communication.
Signs Someone Is Being Groomed For Human Trafficking
How does someone get lured into human trafficking? Are they pulled off the streets, never to be seen again? Usually not. Trafficking usually begins with a process called “grooming”, and it’s important to understand what it looks like and how it happens.
