Anyone can be trafficked, but it is no coincidence that traffickers recognize and take advantage of people in vulnerable situations.
Persons you know might be vulnerable to trafficking if they:
Are facing poverty or are having trouble paying for basic needs
Are in an unstable living situation
Have a history of domestic violence victimization
Have a caregiver or family member with a substance use issue
Are a runaway, foster care system, or juvenile justice involved minor
Have unstable immigration status
Are a member of the LGBTQ+ Community
Have prior criminal convictions, especially for prostitution and related offenses
Are a survivor of sexual abuse
Are facing substance use issues
Have unaddressed mental health needs
Have a cognitive and/or physical disability that impacts daily functions
Are isolated from family and friends
