If we’re going to stop human trafficking we need everyone to open their eyes. It’s happening all over the world and it could be happening near you. So we all need to be more aware. Know what signs to look for. Then know what to do if you feel someone is being exploited.

The signs to look for depend on where trafficking might take place. Click on the six situations below to discover the signs.
- A young, elderly or disabled foreign national who begs in public places or on public transport.
- They may show obvious signs at being abused such as bruises, cuts or mutilation.
- They seem fearful of adults (especially law enforcers) or their behaviour is jumpy.
- One adult is the guardian of a large group of children.
- A large group of adult or child beggars are moved daily to different locations but return to the same location every night.
- On public transport they move as a group, such as walking up and down the length or a train or bus.
