TW - HUMAN TRAFFICKING AWARENESS QUOTE 9

Wednesday, December 13, 2023

Language barriers, fear of their traffickers, and/or fear of law enforcement frequently keep victims from seeking help, making human trafficking a hidden crime. Traffickers look for people who are easy targets for a variety of reasons, including: ▪️ Psychological or emotional vulnerability ▪️ Economic hardship ▪️ Lack of a social safety net ▪️ Natural disasters ▪️ Political instability The trauma caused by the traffickers can be so great that many may not identify themselves as victims or ask for help, even in highly public settings. – Blue Campaign, “What Is Human Trafficking?”

TW - HUMAN TRAFFICKING AWARENESS QUOTE 8

Wednesday, December 13, 2023

Myth: Human trafficking victims will attempt to seek help when in public. Fact: Human trafficking is often a hidden crime. Victims may be afraid to come forward and get help; they may be forced or coerced through threats or violence; they may fear retribution from traffickers, including danger to their families; and they may not be in possession of or have control of their identification documents. – Blue Campaign, “Myths and Misconceptions”
