You can identify potential victims of human trafficking in your community by looking for signs of exploitation and behavior that is inconsistent with the age and developmental level of a child. Identify any people who appear to be living or working in exploitative situations, such as having minimal contact with other people or being confined in buildings or vehicles. Victims may also display indicators of physical or psychological abuse and have untreated medical conditions due to their exploitation. Additionally, watch for signs that someone may be being coerced or threatened into providing labor against their will, like excessively lengthy work hours or suspicious financial transactions related to trafficking activities. Lastly, be aware of anyone trying to recruit minors for criminal activity, which is often an early step in grooming victims for trafficking..

There are a number of ways to identify potential victims of human trafficking in your community. Talk to people who work with at-risk youth, such as law enforcement or teachers. Look out for warning signs such as poorly maintained vehicles, foreign currency stored on the person, long hours of employment and no days off, being accompanied by someone who does not speak their language and isolated living quarters.
