Inform yourself about human trafficking.
If you see anything that you think might be related to a human trafficking crime, inform the police, or call a local anti-trafficking helpline. Remember, victims can be coerced in many ways. You could come across a victim anywhere, be it at work, traveling, or in your private life. If you are unsure, please err on the side of caution and inform responsible parties rather than ignore a potential victim.
Educate yourself to make your consumer choices and actions more ethical. While some decisions might be clearer than others, you can pledge not to purchase goods and services that could be linked directly or indirectly to sexual exploitation, forced labour or other forms of exploitative practices.
Find out what is being done in your community and see what you can do to help end human trafficking. Encourage everyone in your communities – friends, family, business partners, colleagues – to educate themselves about human trafficking.
By donating to the United Nations Voluntary Trust Fund for Victims of Human Trafficking, you can assist survivors of this crime in taking back their lives and rebuilding their futures. The Trust Fund provides vital assistance and protection to the victims of trafficking through specialized organizations across the globe.
