How can you protect yourself from becoming a victim?
Be self-aware. Be Observant. Pay attention to your surroundings. Note exits, the behavior of people around you, and any unusual activity. Limit distractions. Avoid excessive use of phones in unfamiliar or potentially unsafe environments.
Stay vigilant. Pay attention to those around you. If something doesn’t seem right, it probably isn’t. Trust your instincts. And if you suspect someone is a victim, report it. Call the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888 or text ‘HELP’ to 233733. In emergencies, contact local law enforcement immediately.
Your awareness and action can save lives. Together, we can make a difference.
