risk factors that increase susceptibility to trafficking

Module 3 explores the concept of vulnerable populations and the various factors that increase the risk of human trafficking. Understanding what constitutes a vulnerable population in the context of human trafficking is crucial for developing targeted prevention strategies, offering appropriate support services, and crafting effective policies to protect those most at risk. Recognizing these vulnerabilities helps in identifying potential victims and intervening before exploitation occurs.

DISCUSSION:

1. Which population do you think is most at risk of human trafficking in your own community, and why?
2. How do intersecting factors such as poverty, gender, and immigration status amplify the vulnerability of these populations?
3. What strategies do you think could be implemented to reduce the risk of trafficking for these vulnerable groups?
