What is something all of these recruitment methods have in common? They began as relationships.

It’s more common for someone to be trafficked by a person they know than by a stranger.

Traffickers rarely start with threats.
They start with trust. With attention. With what looks like care.

But here’s the truth:�The same thing that can be used to exploit someone – a relationship – can also be the very thing that protects them.

Parents who stay involved.
Teachers who notice behavior changes.
Friends who ask deeper questions.
Neighbors who check in.

We are each other’s first line of defense. We are stronger together.

Safe relationships act as a shield. When someone is surrounded by support, traffickers can’t recruit easily without someone seeing the red flags.

That’s why understanding the signs of recruitment matters. The more informed we are, the more protected our communities become.
