Transcript for Video 1 Human Trafficking Happens to Youth with Disabilities: For the Disability Community SPEAKER: Human trafficking happens to youth with disabilities. Human trafficking happens to youth in every part of our country and in our communities. Not only are all youth at risk for human trafficking, but youth with disabilities may be at greater risk. What is human trafficking? Human trafficking can take the form of forced labor or commercial sex. Sex trafficking can be being forced, tricked, or coerced to have sex for money, a place to stay, or other basic needs. When a child under the age of 18 has sex in exchange for money, a place to stay, or other basic needs, it is sex trafficking. Force, fraud, or coercion need not to be involved. Labor trafficking can be being forced or tricked to do work or a service for little or no pay. Did you know that most traffickers know their victims? Traffickers can be friends, family, caregivers, disability service providers, pose as disability services, or employers. Do you know some of the signs of human trafficking? Consider some of these questions. Do you or a loved one fear of leaving your job, receive threats from your boss, owe money to the person making you work? Has anyone pressured you to have sex with other people, asked you for nude pictures of yourself in exchange for something? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, you can learn about options for help. Contact the National Human Trafficking Hotline to get connected to help and resources.
