The real story about human trafficking is that, while it can happen to anyone, people of color and LGBTQ+ people are more likely to be trafficked than other demographic groups. That’s not a coincidence. Generational trauma, historic oppression, discrimination, and other societal factors and inequities create community-wide vulnerabilities. Traffickers recognize and take advantage of people who are vulnerable in certain ways. Learn more: https://polarisproject.org/recognizing-human-trafficking/
