HUMAN TRAFFICKING & REPORTING
Human trafficking is a serious crime and a grave violation of human rights. It involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to exploit people for labor, services, or commercial sex. Victims can be of any age, gender, or background, and trafficking can happen in any community—including ours.

- Unexplained absences from school or work
- Sudden changes in behavior, clothing, or possessions
