Sex Trafficking
Sex trafficking is easily concealed and it is vital that we be aware of its
existence and warning signs. It is important to note that most victims do not
self-identify as victims, have a strong sense of distrust or are not aware that
help is available. Signs that someone is a victim of sex trafficking
include:
The inability to come and go as they please
Being accompanied by a controlling person
Rarely being allowed in public
Providing commercial sex acts under the age of 18
Working excessively long and/or unusual hours
Working a lot but not having any money, possessions or bank account
Not having identification documents
Owing a large debt and being unable to pay it off
Living or working under high security measures (darkened or boarded windows, barbed wire, security cameras, etc.)
Appearing fearful, nervous or paranoid – especially at the mention of law enforcement
Avoiding eye contact
Appearing malnourished or in poor health (including STD’s, urinary difficulty, infertility, dental problems, etc.)
Showing physical signs of abuse, restraint, confinement or torture (bruises, scars, etc.)
