It might sound like a cliché, but no one is safe from sexual exploitation and trafficking networks. Recruiters are manipulative and quick to spot vulnerabilities. If a recruiter notices that a person likes to party, use drugs or alcohol and is open to experimenting, they will incorporate this into their scheme, promising the young victim whatever they want. If a person has run away from home and needs money or somewhere to stay, recruiters will promise to provide whatever they need. Since we all have vulnerabilities, that means that we’re all at risk of being approached by recruiters for the purpose of sexual exploitation or trafficking. That’s why knowing the strategies used by recruiters can help us thwart them more easily.
