In many cases, victims may be hesitant to come forward due to fear of repercussions or embarrassment. Therefore, it is important for advocates and service providers to be understanding and non-judgmental when assisting those in need.  Additionally, it is also important for governments to increase awareness among their communities about human trafficking; provide safe houses or protective shelters so that survivors feel secure during recovery; implement laws on prevention efforts through training law enforcement officers; ensure victim compensation programs are available where necessary; develop effective partnerships between businesses that purchase goods/services from overseas factories (where forced labor could be happening); make resources available which empower individuals who face exploitation including women in conflict zones affected by warring forces which have vulnerabilities due lack proper protection mechanisms in these regions thus becoming possible target group for abuse & exploitation etc...
