Human trafficking is highly personal and data from the 2020 U.S. National Human Trafficking Hotline shows that victims usually know and trust their traffickers. Recruitment by intimate partners was highly reported for all forms of trafficking, and while this is the case year over year, it was particularly pronounced in 2020 in sex trafficking situations. This type of recruitment was highlighted many times in conversations with survivors in Dressember’s new Things Survivors Wish You Knew podcast. Tune in wherever you get your podcasts to learn more about how psychological coercion and intersectional vulnerabilities play a part in trafficking situations.
