This podcast confronts human trafficking and how we can work to stop it. Really excellent!*****

A Source Much Needed

I recently began my journey into diving deep listening to this podcast, & can I say that wow Dr. Sandra and Dave Stachowiak are amazing podcasters. I just finished listening to the "White Ribbon Against Pornography" with blend of emotions(none positive, just positively hoping to decreasing trafficking %). Porn does a lot in making human trafficking more difficult to tackle and eliminate. I consider it the new drug that people must be aware of! It's no joke but a crisis on the rise. I appreciate the work and focus that gets put into each episode you produce and the guest that you bring on to the show are also a great benefit to the show. I at times feel guilty listening to this podcast because I feel powerless to help people in these situations, but I must put my learnings to test and be an effective citizen in helping our society remove that plague, which is the sickness of trafficking. Again, I want to thank Vanguard Profs Dr. Sandra Morgan and Dave Stachowiak for this illusive mind capturing podcast.

Anyone can join in the fight against human trafficking. Here are 20 ideas to consider.

1. Learn the indicators of human trafficking on the TIP Office's website or by taking a training. Human trafficking awareness training is available for individuals, businesses, first responders, law enforcement, educators, and federal employees, among others.

2. Be a conscientious and informed consumer. Find out more about who may have picked your tomatoes or made your clothes at ResponsibleSourcingTool.org , or check out the Department of Labor's List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor . Encourage companies to take steps to prevent human trafficking in their supply chains and publish the information, including supplier or factory lists, for consumer awareness.

3. Host an awareness-raising event to watch and discuss films about human trafficking. For example, learn how modern slavery exists today; watch an investigative documentary about sex trafficking; or discover how forced labor can affect global food supply chains. Alternatively, contact your local library and ask for assistance identifying an appropriate book and ask them to host the event.

4. Use your social media platforms to raise awareness about human trafficking, using the following hashtags: #endtrafficking, #freedomfirst.

5. Become a mentor to a young person or someone in need. Traffickers often target people who are going through a difficult time or who lack strong support systems. As a mentor, you can be involved in new and positive experiences in that person's life during a formative time.

6. Journalists: The media plays an enormous role in shaping perceptions and guiding the public conversation about human trafficking. Seek out some media best practices on how to effectively and responsibly report stories on human trafficking.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The short answer is, yes. Anyone from any walk of life can be targeted and can end up as a victim of modern slavery. However, there are certain vulnerabilities which may make it more likely for someone to become trapped in trafficking based on situation, profile or background. Traffickers usually focus on those easiest to exploit, which tends to be people with fewer resources or existing vulnerabilities.

A vulnerable person is defined as someone "who can be easily physically or mentally hurt, influenced or attacked". Vulnerability is a main attractor for human traffickers as it makes it much easier to gain and maintain control over the victim. Exploitation relies on the ability to control another, and vulnerability strengthens this control.

In this article, we'll explore some of the different vulnerabilities which may make a person more of a target for traffickers, and illustrate what we can do to guard against this.

Children and teenagers are particularly vulnerable to trafficking due to their age, naivety and trusting nature. Children can lack knowledge or experience, and traffickers prey on this. It's estimated that there are more than 12 million children being exploited through human trafficking with approximately 1.7 million children forced into sexual exploitation.

Children should never be sold. This year we reunited 1,474 trafficked children and teenagers with their families or assisted them into independent living.

As technology advances and more children are online this also breeds the grounds for online exploitation as children are groomed and misled. Online exploitation can serve as the gateway to child trafficking. The U.S. National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), for example, reported a 130% increase in online enticement reports in 2021 compared to 2019.

Approximately 2 in 5 victims of sex trafficking in the U.S.A are recruited online, according to data presented by the Department of Justice, while for children specifically, the NCMEC estimates that 88% of their 9,800 reports of child sex trafficking each year involve a child being trafficked online. Online platforms like social media, gaming sites and messaging apps are the most common place for victim recruitment worldwide.

Homeless people and teenagers who have run away from their homes are vulnerable to traffickers due to desperation from poverty and lack of safety living on the streets. This is especially dangerous for children and teenagers. The National Incidence Studies of Missing, Abducted, Runaway, and Thrownaway Children found that 1 in 3 runway or homeless children are approached by traffickers within 48 hours.

Traffickers offer false hope of accommodation, food or job opportunities in exchange for 'favors' which often translates to forced labor, criminal exploitation or sexual exploitation. A recent survey by the National Clearing House of Homeless Youth & Families found that 36% of runaways traded sex for a place to stay or another need. The social isolation that comes from living on the streets can make a person more likely to be lured into a false sense of security by traffickers pretending to have a romantic, friendship or paternal interest.
Migrants, asylum seekers and refugees
Recent reports have found that migrant workers are three times more likely to be exploited through forced labour than non-migrant workers. Insecure immigration status, language and cultural barriers, and a lack of access to public services can all weaken the safety of migrants from traffickers.

Asylum seekers, displaced people and refugees are extremely vulnerable to trafficking due to their unstable circumstances. Conflict, climate change, extreme poverty and human rights persecutions can all be factors that create refugees. It's been found that more people have been forced to migrate and flee more now than at any other point in the last fifty years.

Additionally, the Global Slavery Index shows that rising anti-immigrant sentiment across Europe and the United States has created more restrictive policies against safe immigration and refugee settlement. These policies have not actually reduced immigration but have exposed more people to greater risks of exploitation.

Identity can also play a part in the increased vulnerability and risk of trafficking. Those belonging to marginalized groups can be at risk of exclusion from society, oppression, abuse, threat of violence and even persecution. Marginalization can be based upon race, ethnicity, caste, religious beliefs, sexual identity and gender expression.

The recent Global Slavery Index found that: "the widescale deterioration of civil and political rights in the face of multiple crises increases risks for those already vulnerable to modern slavery" (Global Slavery Index, 2023).

Increased entrenched biases, racism, homophobia, and xenophobia across the globe are increasing the vulnerability of people belonging to these groups. The social isolation that results can make these groups vulnerable to trafficking.

Increased entrenched biases, racism, homophobia, and xenophobia across the globe are increasing the vulnerability of people belonging to these groups. The social isolation that results can make these groups vulnerable to trafficking.

An estimated 50 million people are trapped in modern slavery. The latest global estimates show no country is immune, with more than half (52%) of all forced labor and a quarter (26%) of all forced marriages found in high-income or upper-middle-income countries.

There are many reasons and situations that may force a person into trafficking, but the main commonality is desperation. A desperation to escape their circumstances which traffickers can easily use to lure victims.

By understanding these vulnerabilities, we can limit the access traffickers have to victims and increase support networks to reduce the ability of traffickers to entrap victims. This starts with awareness, but it also involves significant governmental change and requires the work of all of us.

When people are tricked or forced into exploitation and kept there through violence, fraud or coercion, they often end up living and working in abominable conditions, have limited access to their families and may even face physical violence. This is why it's so important to learn how to spot the signs of trafficking and recognize certain vulnerabilities that may make a person more susceptible to trafficking. The more awareness we raise, the more action we can take - we can become the generation to end modern slavery, for good.

Everyone has the potential to discover a human trafficking situation. While the victims may sometimes be kept behind locked doors, they are often hidden right in front of us at, for example, construction sites, restaurants, elder care centers, nail salons, agricultural fields, and hotels. Traffickers' use of coercion - such as threats of deportation and harm to the victim or their family members - is so powerful that even if you reach out to victims, they may be too fearful to accept your help. Knowing indicators of human trafficking and some follow up questions will help you act on your gut feeling that something is wrong and report it.

Human Trafficking Indicators

While not an exhaustive list, these are some key red flags that could alert you to a potential trafficking situation that should be reported:

Living with employer

Poor living conditions

Multiple people in cramped space

Inability to speak to individual alone

Answers appear to be scripted and rehearsed

Employer is holding identity documents

Signs of physical abuse

Submissive or fearful

Unpaid or paid very little

Under 18 and in prostitution

Questions to Ask

Assuming you have the opportunity to speak with a potential victim privately and without jeopardizing the victim's safety because the trafficker is watching, here are some sample questions to ask to follow up on the red flags you became alert to:

Can you leave your job if you want to?

Can you come and go as you please?

Have you been hurt or threatened if you tried to leave?

Has your family been threatened?

Do you live with your employer?

Where do you sleep and eat?

Are you in debt to your employer?

Do you have your passport/identification? Who has it?

Where to Get Help

If you believe you have identified someone still in the trafficking situation, alert law enforcement immediately at the numbers provided below. It may be unsafe to attempt to rescue a trafficking victim. You have no way of knowing how the trafficker may react and retaliate against the victim and you. If, however, you identify a victim who has escaped the trafficking situation, there are a number of organizations to whom the victim could be referred for help with shelter, medical care, legal assistance, and other critical services. In this case, call the National Human Trafficking Hotline described below.

911 Emergency

For urgent situations, notify local law enforcement immediately by calling 911. You may also want to alert the National Human Trafficking Hotline described below so that they can ensure response by law enforcement officials knowledgeable about human trafficking.

1-888-373-7888 National Human Trafficking Hotline

Call the National Human Trafficking Hotline, a national 24-hour, toll-free, multilingual anti-trafficking hotline. Call 1-888-373-7888 to report a tip; connect with anti-trafficking services in your area; or request training and technical assistance, general information, or specific anti-trafficking resources.

Sex trafficking is not something you can see happening across a crowded room. It is not a crime that occurs in an instant, like a kidnapping or carjacking, that a bystander can witness and report. In fact, many people in active sex trafficking situations do not recognize themselves as being victims because they have been expertly groomed by a trafficker to believe they have chosen to participate in commercial sex. Understanding how sex trafficking really works can help families and communities to recognize vulnerable people before they become victims and provide survivors with the support they need to break free, heal and move on with their lives.

Myth

Only women and girls can be victims and survivors of sex trafficking.

Reality
Men and boys are also victimized by sex traffickers. LGBTQ boys and young men are seen as particularly vulnerable to trafficking.

Myth

All commercial sex is human trafficking.

Reality
All commercial sex involving a minor is legally considered human trafficking. Commercial sex involving an adult is human trafficking if the person providing commercial sex is doing so against his or her will as a result of force, fraud or coercion.

Myth

People in active trafficking situations always want help getting out.

Reality
Every trafficking situation is unique and self-identification as a trafficking victim or survivor happens along a continuum. Fear, isolation, guilt, shame, misplaced loyalty and expert manipulation are among the many factors that may keep a person from seeking help or identifying as a victim even if they are, in fact, being actively trafficked.

Common Sex Trafficking Red Flags

Red Flags

They want to stop participating in selling or trading sex but feel scared or unable to leave

They disclose that they were reluctant to engage in selling sex but that someone pressured them into it

They live where they work or are transported by guards between home and workplace

They are children who live with or are supported by or dependent on a family member with a substance abuse problem or who is abusive in other ways

They have a pimp or manager in the sex trade

They work in an industry where it may be common to be pressured into performing sex acts for money, such as a strip club, illicit cantina, go-go bar, or illicit massage business

They have an older, or simply controlling parent, guardian, romantic partner or "sponsor" who will not allow you to meet or speak with the person alone or monitors their movements, spending and/or communications
