What does the Louisiana Human Trafficking Poster inform the public about?
Victims of human trafficking may be forced into sex trafficking or labor trafficking situations and by force or fear are prevented from leaving. Human Trafficking is against the law but there is help.
The Louisiana Human Trafficking Poster informs workers and the public about the National Human Trafficking Resource Center Hotline. The National Human Trafficking Resource Center provides victims and survivors with access to help, referral to services, receives tips about potential human trafficking situations, and provides access to training and general information about Human Trafficking crimes.
