Human Trafficking Awareness for Students

Human trafficking. Most college students have heard the term, but that doesn’t mean they understand what trafficking is – or how to protect themselves. In reality, trafficking looks nothing like what is depicted in popular shows and media, and that misinformation puts us all at risk. Many trafficking victims are hidden in plain sight, and chances are there are trafficking victims walking the halls of every campus. This course, designed specifically for students, explores what constitutes human trafficking, risk factors and student behaviors that leave young people vulnerable, and red flags students can watch for that might mean a friend or peer is a victim of trafficking.
