Signs of Human Trafficking to Detect

What are the three types of signs you can detect of human trafficking in guests and coworkers?

Assertiveness

Physical

Intellectual

Mental

Antisocial

Behavioral

When it comes to detecting signs of human trafficking in guests and coworkers, the following three types of signs can be particularly relevant:

1. Physical Signs: These may include unexplained injuries, signs of physical abuse, malnourishment, or poor hygiene. Victims may also appear to be under the control of someone else, showing signs of fear or anxiety when interacting with others.

2. Behavioral Signs: This includes changes in behavior such as withdrawal from social interactions, fearfulness, or anxiety. Victims may also exhibit signs of being overly submissive or compliant, or conversely, they may show signs of aggression or defiance.

3. Assertiveness: While not a direct sign of trafficking, a lack of assertiveness in communication can be a red flag. Victims may not speak for themselves, may defer to someone else for answers, or may seem hesitant to engage in conversation.

It's important to approach the situation with sensitivity and to report any concerns to the appropriate authorities rather than making assumptions.
