Every year, millions of people are held against their will and trafficked into forced labor and commercial sex. While on the road, you could be the key to their freedom. Globally, an estimated 28 million people are currently subjected to human trafficking as well as in every U.S. state. Human trafficking is a crime that involves the use of, or to obtain labor or commercial sex acts.
Victims can be anyone—regardless of race, color, national origin, disability, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, socioeconomic status, education level, or citizenship status.
When drivers know what to look for, they can serve as a community's eyes, ears and voice. When you see indicators of human trafficking, report your suspicion. You could help someone find their road to freedom. If you notice something, don’t dismiss the feeling. Trust your instincts.
