Today is recognized as #NationalHumanTraffickingAwarenessDay. Traffickers use force, fraud, or coercion to lure their victims and force them into labor or commercial sexual exploitation. There are several myths as to what human trafficking may entail:

*Myth: “All human trafficking involves sex.”
*FACT: It is believed there are more situations of labor trafficking, but more awareness in sex trafficking. 

*Myth: “Human trafficking only happens in illegal or underground industries.”
*FACT: Human trafficking has been reported in various businesses, including restaurants, cleaning services, factories and more. 

*Myth: “Only women and girls can be victims of sex trafficking.”
*FACT: All genders are susceptible of being victims of human trafficking. 

If you believe you may have information about a human trafficking situation, contact the Santa Clarita Sheriff’s Station at 661-260-4000. Anonymous tips can also be submitted through www.LACrimeStoppers.org, or 1-800-222-TIPS(8477).
