    Human trafficking isn’t always what people expect. It can happen to anyone. Labor trafficking can occur in restaurants, cleaning services, agriculture, construction, and more. Warning signs may include restricted movement, withheld pay, or fear of speaking freely. Do you suspect human trafficking? Find help and learn more: pa.gov/humantrafficking
     
    Human trafficking often happens in plain sight — in places we pass through every day, like parking lots, rest stops, and businesses. Understanding the warning signs can help you protect your community. Learn how to identify exploitation and connect people to the help they need at pa.gov/humantrafficking
     
    Human trafficking does not discriminate. People of different ages, races, genders, and backgrounds can be exploited — often by someone they know or trust. Learning the signs helps communities respond and support survivors. Visit pa.gov/humantrafficking today
