Who is at risk?
Anyone could potentially become a victim of human trafficking. Often there are stereotypes of victims that are often portrayed as innocent young girls who are forced into the commercial sex act. Women, men, and children of all ages can be trafficked for sex.
Where does it happen?
Human trafficking happens around the world. There are an estimated 30 million slaves in the world today (McKirdy, 2014). Trafficking happens in Nebraska as well. There are an estimated 1800 women in Omaha alone involved in the sex trade and approximately 50% of them are involuntary (Shavers et. al., 2013).
How are victims controlled?
Victims are often manipulated with a combination of physical violence and affection to instill loyalty. Traffickers will typically control every aspect of their lives and beat the victim should they not obey. A great deal of psychological control is given to trafficker.
