The Michigan Human Trafficking Poster informs victims of human trafficking that they are protected under United States and Michigan law. The poster also provides information on how to recognize red flags and signs of human trafficking.
Victims of human trafficking may be forced or coerced into engaging in prostitution, housework, farm work, factory work, retail work, restaurant work, or any other activity. Since 2007, the non-profit, non-governmental National Human Trafficking Resource Center Hotline has received 178,971 reports on potential victims of sex or labor trafficking. The Resource Center provides help and referral to services for victims and survivors of human trafficking, as well as training and general information for those who wish to provide assistance to victims.
