Here are some clues that may identify a possible trafficking victim:
- Accompanied by a controlling person or boss; not speaking on own behalf;
- Lack of control over personal schedule, money, I.D., travel documents;
- Transported to or from work; lives and works in the same place;
- Debt owed to employer/crew leader; inability to leave job;
- Bruises, depression, fear, overly submissive.
Asking the right questions will help to determine if the person is a victim of trafficking who needs help.
Key questions to ask:
- What type of work do you do?
- Are you getting paid? Anything taken out of your pay?
- Can you leave your job if you want to?
- Can you come and go as you please? Are you afraid to leave? Why?
- Have you or your family been threatened?
- What are your working and living conditions like? How are you treated?
- Do you have to ask permission to eat/sleep/go to the bathroom?
- Are there locks on your doors/windows so you cannot get out?
- Has your identification or documentation been taken from you?
Human Traffickers use advertisements for escorts, massage parlors, strippers, porn videos, etc. making promises of money and fame, trapping people into modern-day slavery. Traffickers look at victims as nothing more than a product that is reusable and disposable. By providing awareness, education, counseling, resources, and inspiration to potential victims, traffickers will no longer have a “product” and will be forced to go “out of business”.
Here are some ways you can combat modern-day slavery:
United with others, you can flood websites such as craigslist and backpage which have adult advertisements and post posters which inform men and women about the realities of the sex industry, educate them about modern-day slavery, and to make them stop and think before they answer these advertisements and offer them words of inspiration and resources to change their life. The posters also send a message to traffickers who are using online advertisements that we are watching them, and that they will be stopped.
You can also contact local newspapers that have adult advertisements and inform them that traffickers use these advertisements to trap people into modern-day slavery. Keep contacting them until they stop publishing adult advertisements.
You can also post flyers and stencil posters in communities which are vulnerable to human trafficking on walls, telephone poles, bars, etc. These posters share a message of hope to the victims and potential victims. They also speak a powerful message to traffickers that there is a movement of people watching them, and that they will be stopped.
