Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is amplifying efforts to combat human trafficking by highlighting the signs of exploitation and available resources for both victims and community members.
Nessel emphasized the pervasive nature of human trafficking, which ensnares individuals into labor, sex work, and domestic servitude through coercion and violence.
Human trafficking manifests in various forms, including forced labor and sexual exploitation, with victims often unaware of their predicament or how to seek assistance. Signs of trafficking, such as physical abuse, lack of control over personal documents, and fearfulness, may go unnoticed.
Nessel urged vigilance, emphasizing the role of community members in recognizing and reporting suspicious activities to authorities, potentially saving lives. Awareness and action, she stressed, are critical in combating this heinous crime plaguing Michigan and the nation.
