Content: Victims of human trafficking come from diverse socioeconomic, education, and cultural backgrounds. Victims may be found in suburban or rural locations, in all age groups, and all genders, including transgender persons. However, there are some risk factors which may make individuals more vulnerable to becoming victims of human trafficking. These factors include runaways and homeless youths, foreign nationals (either documented or undocumented), individuals with a past history of violence, trauma, discrimination, neglect, or abuse; or other social, personal, and environmental factors (National Center on Safe Supportive Learning Environments, 2018; National Human Trafficking Hotline, n.d.). Human trafficking may include sex and labor trafficking, and organ harvesting. These acts usually involve abuse, and are induced by force, fraud or coercion. • Sex trafficking involves recruiting or taking victims for a commercial sex act. These sexual acts are not consensual and often involve individuals less than 18 years of age.
