S*x trafficking is a serious issue, but by recognizing the signs, we can work together to create a safer world. It's often highlighted in the news and media, but do you know how to identify someone who may be a victim? Look below to learn some of the signs:

• Live where they work or are transported by guards between home and workplace.

• Are children who live with or are dependent on a family member with a substance use problem or who is abusive.

• Work in an industry where it may be common to be pressured into performing s*x acts for money, such as a strip club, illicit cantina, go-go bar, or illicit massage business.

• Have a controlling parent, guardian, romantic partner, or “sponsor” who will not allow them to meet or speak with anyone alone or who monitors their movements, spending, or communications.

If you or someone you know is experiencing s*x trafficking, please call the National Human Trafficking Hotline: 1-888-373-7888 💙
