Labor trafficking is human trafficking and many traffickers prey on vulnerability, using manipulation to exploit victims' dreams and fears. Many factors put individuals at risk, such as: 🔹 Dependence on employers for immigration status 🔹 Fear of deportation or family separation 🔹 Lack of work authorization or a social security number 🔹 Mistrust of authorities and fear of oppression 🔹 Poverty, language barriers, or marginalization 🔹 Limited access to legal services or public benefits 🔹 Refugee status or fleeing conflict Everyone deserves fair treatment. PAATH15 Crossroads is a network of organizations, including the YWCA Greater Harrisburg, working to stop labor trafficking in Central PA. If you or someone you know is a victim, call our 24-hour hotline at 1.800.654.1211. #EndLaborTrafficking (fb)
