The hidden danger of poverty

 

POVERTY DOESN'T JUST TAKE AWAY MONEY.

It can take away choices.

When someone has no job, no savings and no safety net, a stranger offering an opportunity can look like a lifeline.

And that's where exploitation can begin.

A job offer that sounds too good to be true.

Free accommodation.

Transport to another city.

A promise of easy money.

For someone desperate enough, the warning signs can be easy to ignore.

Human trafficking thrives on vulnerability.

That's why fighting trafficking isn't only about catching traffickers.

It's also about reducing the poverty and vulnerability that criminals exploit.

Protecting people means giving them information, education, opportunities and somewhere to turn when something doesn't feel right.
