Globally, over 27 million people are estimated to be trapped in trafficking situations — more than at any other point in history.

In the United States, it happens in every state.
Common venues include hotels, farms, restaurants, nail salons, and online marketplaces.

Technology has made trafficking easier to hide.

Recruiters use social media, fake job postings, and dating apps to lure victims.
During the pandemic, online recruitment increased dramatically — proving traffickers adapt quickly to reach vulnerable people.
