Human Trafficking

Human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery where people profit from the control and exploitation of others. As defined under U.S. federal law, victims of human trafficking include children involved in the sex trade, adults who are coerced or deceived into commercial sex acts, and anyone forced into different forms of “labor or services” such as domestic workers held in a home, or farm-workers forced to labor against their will. Human trafficking is a felony.

California Senate Bill 1193 (Civil Code section 52.6) requires certain types of businesses to post information about human trafficking in English and Spanish.

Attached are an 11 x 17 inch tri-lingual poster from the Ventura County Coalition Against Human Trafficking, an 11 x 17 inch bilingual poster for Ventura County, 8.5 x 11 inch posters for Ventura County, and Frequently Asked Questions about the requirements.

If you feel you or another person may be the victim of human trafficking, call the National Human Trafficking Resource Center at 1-888-373-7888.
