Human Trafficking Myths:
  1. Human Trafficking is only a global problem, since I live in USA, I am not affected. FACT: Human Trafficking has been reported in  every single state in the U.S. Call the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 888-373-7888 to report tips or to learn more about how you can help your community.
  2. Trafficking includes some form of travel or transportation across borders. FACT: Human Trafficking does not require movement or border crossing. If someone is forced to work or engage in commercial sex against their will, it is trafficking. 
  3. Victims must be held against their will using some form of physical restraint or bondage. FACT: It is more common for them to use psychological means of control, even though some traffickers do hold their victims by physical means. Fear, trauma, drug addiction, threats against families, and a lack of options due to poverty and homelessness can all prevent someone from leaving. Some individuals who experience trafficking may also be manipulated or believe they are in love with their trafficker, which can make them resistant to seeking help.
  4. Only women and children experience trafficking. FACT: Anyone can experience Human Trafficking, including men. Traffickers prey on the vulnerable, often with promises of a better life. Risk factors for trafficking include: prior history of abuse or sexual violence, generational trauma, poverty, unemployment, and unstable living situations, or homelessness. 
  5. Victims will be desperate to escape their trafficker and ask for help when they need it. FACT: Individuals who experience trafficking may not readily seek help due to a number of factors, including shame, self-blame, fear, or even specific instructions from their traffickers regarding how to behave when interacting with others. They do not always self-identify and may not realize that they have rights.
