Signs or behaviors that could indicate someone is a victim of human trafficking include being kept in exploitative situations with few or no opportunities to escape, having few or no personal possessions, avoiding eye contact and appearing fearful, anxious or submissive, being isolated from others and speaking only a limited amount of language. Identifying tattoos such as barcodes, serial numbers and identifying information on someone’s person could also be indicative of human trafficking.
