Learn about domestic servitude in your area

Launched November 2

Action

Learn

Domestic servitude is a form of human trafficking which is difficult to detect because it takes place in private residences. As a result, domestic workers are generally more vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. Most cases are discovered by neighbors who notice that "something was not right."

Respond

Learn about cases of domestic servitude in your city, state or country. What happens to the victims? The traffickers?
Get to know the signs. If you think you see suspicious behavior, know where to call.
Write an article for your local paper on domestic servitude.
