What is Human Trafficking?

Human trafficking is the use of force, fraud or coercion to compel a person into any form of labor against their will.

Human trafficking can occur in any industry, including agriculture, construction, domestic service (housekeeper, nanny), restaurants, salons, commercial sex work, massage parlors, and small businesses. With awareness, you can help to identify and report cases of human trafficking.

Signs of Human Trafficking

  • One person controlling another or a group (speaking for them; escorting them to/from work)
  • Employer in control of employee’s identification/immigration documents
  • People locked inside a residence or workplace
  • Someone unable to leave a particular job (forced to work there)
  • Threats to employee or employee’s family by employer
  • “Debt” owed by employee to employer
