National Human Trafficking Awareness Day
What is Human Trafficking?
Human trafficking involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act. Every year, millions of men, women, and children are trafficked worldwide – including the United States. It can happen in any community and victims can be any age, race, gender, or nationality. Traffickers might use the following methods to lure victims into trafficking situations:
Violence
Manipulation
False promises of well-paying jobs
Romantic relationships
Language barriers, fear of their traffickers, and/or fear of law enforcement frequently keep victims from seeking help, making human trafficking a hidden crime.
Traffickers look for people who are easy targets for a variety of reasons, including psychological or emotional vulnerability, economic hardship, lack of a social safety net, natural disasters, or political instability.
Facts:
Every 2 minutes, a child is trafficked in the United States.
There are over 300,000 children in the United States who are at high risk of being trafficked every day.
96% of victims of police-reported Human Trafficking are women and girls.
60% of trafficked children are in or were in the foster care system at some point.
While there has been significant progress in bringing awareness to the issue of Human Trafficking in Delaware, more needs to be done to prevent Human Trafficking, identify victims and support them through trauma-informed approaches, and combat the perpetrators of these crimes.
If you or someone you know is a victim of human trafficking, we're here to provide the support you need. Contact SARC at 800-773-8570 or visit ywcade.org/sarc for support.
