Contrary to myth, victims are rarely kidnapped by strangers; many are exploited by people they already trust—family, friends, even mentors. Vulnerable youth, especially those homeless or unaccompanied, are targeted with promises of food, shelter, or transportation, sometimes ending up in survival sex situations. And it’s not just sex trafficking—labor trafficking thrives in rural areas, trapping immigrant workers in silence due to fear, language barriers, and legal consequences. Everyone is at risk, but marginalized communities bear the heaviest burden. If you or someone you know is a victim, help is available: call the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 888-373-7888 or text 233-733.
