Human Trafficking is the third largest international crime industry (behind illegal drugs and arms trafficking).  It reportedly generates a profit of  $32 billion every year. 

Of that number, $15.5 billion is made in industrialized countries.

Someone can become a victim at any age and at any place. The difficult thing about human trafficking is that it doesn’t discriminate. 2M people are estimated to be trafficked annually in the US (and those are all domestic citizens). 600,000-800,000 are estimated to be brought across our boarders. This shows  that much of the trafficking involves our own children/sisters/mothers/

brothers.

EVERYWHERE.   

Human trafficking happens in every single state in the US and is most prevalent in Texas, Florida, New York and California. Victims are sought out in rural, suburban, and urban locations.  

 There is no solid reason for why this cruel act happens amongst us. We see husbands trafficking wives, uncles and aunts trafficking relatives, sisters/brothers trafficking siblings, “boyfriends” trafficking girlfriends, and captures … the list goes on.  There are many emotional controls employed which makes it easy to become a victim.   

 We should all do our part and report ANY type of suspicious activity, but please never intervene (a trafficker is never far from their victims and you should never place yourself in a dangerous situation). The best thing to do is take account of your surroundings and report in detail what you see.  We have provided information for outreach programs that are designed to assist and support victims of this crime.
