Human Trafficking: At Risk Populations, Indicators, and Protective Factors

This resource is a supplementary service-planning tool to be used in conjunction with Kentucky protocols related to screening and investigations related to human trafficking. This does not include all risk factors or indicators present in every human trafficking situation, and the presence or absence of any of the risk factors or indicators is not necessarily proof of human trafficking. However, when indicators of human trafficking are present, further screening or assessment may be warranted. The presence of protective factors does not necessarily mitigate risk, but are important factors for consideration in case/service planning with survivors and those at risk of human trafficking
