Learn How to Shine a Light on Human Trafficking in Native Communities

November is National American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month. Blue Campaign is honoring #NAHM by raising awareness of human trafficking, sharing what it can look like, and how communities can protect themselves. Human trafficking poses a unique threat to Native American people, including children, because traffickers operate under the assumption that Native victims are invisible to law enforcement and the greater community. It is Blue Campaign’s mission to bring this often-hidden crime to light. Take a moment to learn more and share Blue Campaign’s awareness and prevention resources:

• “Indicators of Human Trafficking” webpage: Recognize the potential indicators of human trafficking. Doing so can be the first step toward saving a life.
• Native Communities Awareness Poster Series: Display these survivor-informed materials in locations where you live, work, and play, like schools and community centers, to help spread the word.
• Human trafficking scenario video: Learn why traffickers target Native communities and what the crime can look like.
• Law enforcement training webinar: Find out how human trafficking uniquely affects Native communities, as well as how law enforcement can respond.
