Make sure the victim has

friends or family to care for

them. Take the victim’s fears

seriously.

Cases should be prosecuted whenever

possible to stop this happening to

others.

Raise awareness in your community

about Human Traffi cking.

Don’t be tricked into leaving your

home.

Urgently report missing persons to the police.

Take any information that could help to trace the missing person.

If you are

traffi cked, stay

calm. Try to get to

a police station

or place of safety.

If the victim has been sexually assaulted

take them to a doctor urgently to get

treatment which could prevent HIV and to

collect evidence.

Keep evidence safe without washing it -

(like the clothes the victim was wearing).

Take the victim to a safe shelter for care and counseling.
