Ohio Human Trafficking Task Force
The Realities of Human Trafficking
Human trafficking of young girls and women in the world is growing at a rapid pace each year. Trafficking of women into the sex trade is a big industry and problem - specifically in West Bengal, India, but even here in Ohio.
Each month, the Ohio Human Trafficking Task Force sends out updates and a brief overview of current news on Ohio’s Anti-Trafficking movement.
For example, this fall, Polaris released 2018 data from the National Human Trafficking Hotline, including the number of identified survivors, traffickers, suspicious businesses, and human trafficking cases. Another helpful link is to The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Blue Campaign that developed an infographic to illustrate what human trafficking looks like in the United States.
