Moving beyond employees: Antitrafficking training as facilitating social change

[...]there are a wide range of industries wherein employees are more likely to encounter trafficking victims, including the hospitality, transportation, and healthcare industries. [...]transportation modalities, such as taxis, ride-sharing programs, buses, and commercial trucks, are common means via which to transport victims, as well as means used by victims themselves in attempts to escape the trafficking trade. [...]transportation hubs—for example, truck stops, bus and train stations, and airports—are common locales used by traffickers to target potential new victims. [...]as victims may be traveling alone, transportation workers are in a unique position to encounter victims away from the eye of the trafficker and may therefore be better able to verbally assess the situation, offer help, or even safely physically intervene as compared to workers in other industries. [...]healthcare professionals also have an increased likelihood of encountering trafficking victims.
