BECOME A SMART CONSUMER

The book Not for Sale by David Batstone, an easy narrative read on a very hard subject, is a good place to start. This book paints for you a picture of the face of slavery around the world.

EDUCATE YOURSELF

If you are a victim or you suspect you know a victim, then speak up. The Justice Department maintains a human trafficking hotline at 1-888-373-7888.

READ THIS FIRST: It is important to talk to potential victims in a safe and confidential environment. If the victim is accompanied by someone who seems to have control over them, discretely attempt to separate the person from the individual accompanying him/her, since this person could be the trafficker.

Enlist the help of a staff member or another professional who speaks the potential victims. language and understands his or her culture.

Do not collect more information than you need! In depth interviews with the potential victim should be conducted by a mental health professional, law enforcement professionals or legal experts. Multiple interviews may confuse and/or re-traumatize victims and may put you, as a service provider, at risk of being subpoenaed as a witness.

SPEAK UP

Everyone has a skill to offer in the fight against slavery. Artists, teachers, web geeks, students, business people, ... whoever you are and whatever you do, you can supply a piece of the puzzle.
