Human Trafficking: What You Need to Know | Pasco County Florida
DRIVING HOME HUMAN AWARENESS: The #PascoCounty Commission on Human Trafficking is once again partnering with GoPasco and the U.S. Institute Against Human Trafficking to help bus riders and drivers recognize the signs of human trafficking and help potential victims get to safety.
“Human trafficking is a vile crime, and it’s easy to dismiss as something that’s happening elsewhere,” said Commissioner Gary Bradford, who serves on the Commission on Human Trafficking. “Sadly, this is happening right here in Pasco, and we’re working to eradicate it from our community.”
This campaign will reach an average 45,000 riders a month through the following actions:
- Placards & pamphlets for GoPasco bus riders
- Tips for bus drivers to identify trafficking
- Protocol for bus drivers who suspect trafficking
- USIAHT victim ‘Safe Way Out Cards’ on buses
Human trafficking is a growing problem worldwide, with an estimated 49.6 million men, women, and children trapped in modern slavery, according to the International Labour Organization.
