“Tools That Teach: What is Human Trafficking?” from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Blue Campaign explains that human trafficking is the use of force, fraud, or coercion to exploit people for labor or commercial sex. The resource highlights that victims can be of any age, gender, or nationality, and traffickers often disguise their activities as legitimate opportunities or relationships. Because victims may be fearful, manipulated, or isolated, they are often invisible to the public. The video stresses the importance of learning to recognize indicators of trafficking and reporting suspicions to authorities or the National Human Trafficking Hotline rather than intervening directly, as identifying and reporting warning signs can save lives.
