Although public awareness has increased in the last few years, there still exists common misconceptions that human trafficking only involves kidnapping or always leads to commercial sex exploitation.

Since many of these victims will pass through medical facilities, it is imperative that health care personnel and missionaries learn the indicators and signs of human trafficking as well as stay up to date on the current trends.
