The signs of human trafficking can look different in every situation. Possible indicators may include someone who appears fearful or controlled, lacks access to money or identification, or has limited ability to speak for themselves.

Seeing one sign alone doesn’t confirm trafficking, but recognizing patterns can help prompt care, concern, and connection to trusted resources.
