Human Trafficking
Our series on Human Trafficking continues this week. Victims of trafficking may look like many of the people

coming to your organization for assistance every day. Victims are young children, teenagers, men, and women. By looking beneath the surface and asking yourself these questions, you can help identify potential victims:

has new jewelry, new hairdo, or polished nails not paid for by the youth’s parents or guardian.

has sporadic or poor school attendance

possesses multiple hotel cards or cell phones

wears clothing inappropriate for his or her age or for the weather.
