5 Scope of the Problem Approximately 600,000 to 800,000 victims annually are trafficked across international borders worldwide, according to the U.S. Department of State It s estimated that 14,500 to 17,500 foreign nationals are trafficked into the US each year. The number of US citizens trafficked within the country is even higher this includes the estimated 300,000 American children at risk for trafficking into the sex industry. Many victims trafficked into the United States do not speak and understand English and are therefore isolated and unable to communicate with service providers, law enforcement and others who might be able to help them

6 Human Trafficking happens in NE too, not just in the big cities # of Human Trafficking Calls Received in Nebraska in 2013: 38

7 How victims are targeted Force Involves the use of rape, beatings and confinement to control victims. Forceful violence is used especially during the early stages of victimization, known as the seasoning process, which is used to break victim s resistance to make them easier to control. Fraud Often involves false offers that induce people into trafficking situations. For example, women and children will reply to advertisements promising jobs as waitresses, maids and dancers in other countries and are then trafficked for purposes of prostitution once they arrive at their destinations. Coercion Involves threats of serious harm to, or physical restraint of, any person; any scheme, plan or pattern intended to cause a person to believe that failure to perform an act would result in serious harm to or physical restraint against any person; or the abuse or threatened abuse of the legal process.
