As an EMS provider, chances are you have treated victims of human trafficking and child sex trafficking and did not recognize it, or, if you did suspect something, you may not have known what to do. EMS providers are often the first set of eyes on trafficking victims. Human Trafficking and terms like “modern day slavery” usually conjure images of young girls being sold to sex tourists in faraway countries. Hollywood movies, TV shows and documentaries feature scenes of tourists being kidnapped and forced into sexual servitude. Despite this media portrayal, human trafficking is a real and growing problem all over the world, including here in the United States. It defies stereotypes and experts continue to build new knowledge about the issue.
In this CME we will cover the extent of the problem and the red flags to help recognize a victim which could aid in victim rescue and ultimate recovery.
