Transportation Leaders Against Human Trafficking Awareness Campaign

A series of posters that raise awareness about human trafficking in transportation and provide information on how to report suspected human trafficking.

Every year, millions of adults and children are held against their will and trafficked into forced labor and commercial sex. Human traffickers exploit roadways, railways, waterways, and airways in urban, rural, and Tribal communities across the United States to recruit and transport individuals being subjected to human trafficking.
