According to Polaris Project, the internet is the main recruiting location for human trafficking. Traffickers rely on social media, direct messages, and even video games to make contact with their targets.
Communities across the nation are employing more efforts to educate people about human trafficking. Hopefully, this trend will persist as the fight against human trafficking continues.
Anyone who wishes to report what they believe to be human trafficking can contact the National Human Trafficking Hotline via phone at 1 (888) 373-7888 or by text at 233733.
