First Responder Response to Human Trafficking

Friday, April 11

As a first responder, have you ever cared for a victim of human trafficking? When off duty, have you ever encountered a victim of human trafficking? Human trafficking is the fastest growing organized crime activity in the United States, averaging more than $30 billion a year. Did you know that, according to the research, up to 88% of human trafficking victims accessed healthcare while being trafficked?  This means that chances are high that as an emergency responder or healthcare provider you have treated a victim of human trafficking and may not have recognized it. Learn how to recognize the signs of human trafficking, how to identify potential victims, and what you should do if you do identify a potential victim.
