There are a few key indicators that can help identify potential trafficking victims, such as unexplainable marks or bruising, abnormal phone behavior, not having access to basic needs like food or healthcare and consistently being in the presence of unknown adults. Additionally, children and youth who lack emotional control and may have difficulty regulating their emotions are also at higher risk. Another common red flag is individuals or groups controlling or monitoring an individual’s movements. Being aware of these indicators can help better identify potential victims of human trafficking.

Potential victims of human trafficking can be identified by specific indicators, such as unexplained changes in behavior, unusual travel or living arrangements, physical signs of abuse or neglect and being in the company of suspicious individuals. Other warning signs include having few social supports, increased isolation from friends and family, feeling like they lack control over their lives and appearing to have no knowledge of their environments.
