Raising awareness is an important step to addressing human trafficking and modern-day slavery. The resources in the Research the Facts and Spread the Word sections, below, will help you get started and take action.
Learning about human trafficking and modern-day slavery is a critical first step. To be a strong advocate you must first learn the facts.
Once you’ve learned about human trafficking, it’s time to start spreading the word. Raising awareness starts with those around you: your friends, your family, your community.
Engage in conversations. Share resources and information that you have found interesting with those in your network. Are you on Facebook, X, or other social media sites? Like and/or follow anti-trafficking organizations and share resources that interest you or pertain to your community.
With the permission of bar owners, hotel and apartment managers, school officials, concert venues, and managers of other public properties, distribute the number for the National Human Trafficking Hotline, pamphlets that define human trafficking and its warning signs, or other materials about where to get help if needed. Contact a local organization that may already be doing outreach and see how you can support them.
Parents and teachers can speak with their children and students about human trafficking with age-appropriate discussions that convey the seriousness of the topic and provide kids and adolescents with the tools to recognize risks and seek help if needed.
