Education
Sex trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery where individuals are coerced, forced, or manipulated into performing sexual acts for money or other benefits. It often involves exploitation through violence, threats, or deception.
Anyone can become a victim, but traffickers often target vulnerable individuals, including runaway youth, those facing economic hardships, individuals with a history of abuse, and marginalized communities. Victims can be of any age, gender, or background.

- Fearful or submissive behavior, avoiding eye contact.
- Being accompanied by someone who speaks for them or controls their actions.*
If you suspect trafficking, trust your instincts and report it to authorities or a hotline.
Traffickers use tactics such as promises of love, employment opportunities, or financial stability to lure victims. They may also use force, threats, or manipulation to control and exploit individuals.
If you suspect someone is being trafficked, do not confront the suspected trafficker. Instead, contact a local trafficking hotline or law enforcement agency. Provide as much detail as possible, such as locations, descriptions, and behaviors.
Sex trafficking occurs in cities, suburbs, and rural areas alike. Even in Fayette and Coweta County, Georgia. It can happen in private homes, hotels, massage parlors, online platforms, and other locations. It’s not limited to any one type of community or region.
Contact a national or local trafficking hotline, such as the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888. Do not try to intervene directly; trained professionals will handle the situation.
Organizations such as She's My Sister and others, law enforcement agencies, and governments work together to combat trafficking by raising awareness, rescuing victims, prosecuting traffickers, and providing rehabilitation services for survivors.
You can help by educating yourself and others, supporting organizations that fight trafficking, volunteering, and reporting suspicious activity. Awareness and action are powerful tools in prevention.
Sex trafficking is a form of human trafficking, which also includes labor trafficking and other forms of exploitation. Both involve the illegal exploitation of people for personal or financial gain.
