Resources

Practical information for recognizing trafficking, responding safely, and connecting people with qualified support.

Remember the Basics

Believe. Know. Think. Stay informed. Report.

Human trafficking is real and can occur in ordinary communities, workplaces, relationships, and industries.

Learn red flags, understand control and vulnerability, and avoid relying on movie-style stereotypes.

Pay attention to how goods and services are produced, how workers are treated, and what circumstances surround exploitation.

Keep trusted reporting resources available and choose a response that prioritizes immediate safety.

For Organizations

Equip staff, volunteers, and congregations to recognize vulnerabilities, respond without judgment, and know where qualified help is available.

Build age-appropriate awareness around grooming, online risks, commercial sexual exploitation of children, safe adults, and reporting concerns.

Train people who may see warning signs in hospitality, retail, transportation, service industries, neighborhoods, and public spaces.
