Facts on Human Trafficking in Florida:
Florida: A Modern Slavery Hub
Florida
is commonly known amongst law enforcement personnel to have one of the
highest incidences of human trafficking in the country. In fact,
Florida is commonly cited along with New York and California as being
one of the top three destinations for trafficking victims in the United
States. Victims of sex trafficking typically wind up in large cities,
vacation and tourist spots, and near military bases, where the demand
for sex trafficking is incredibly high. Additionally, labor trafficking
victims are typically utilized in areas where there is a demand for
unskilled labor, which is present in sectors such as seasonal
agriculture, garment manufacturing, construction and domestic
servitude. Florida’s economic climate, largely dependent on agriculture
and tourism, renders it an ideal destination for human trafficking
victims. Additional factors creating a high demand for victims of human
trafficking include Florida’s eight military bases along with South
Florida's geographical location, which makes it a strategic entry point
for traffickers bringing victims from Latin America and the Caribbean
into the United States. In fact, Miami International Airport is ranked
as one of the top entry points in the United States for foreign human
trafficking victims. Finally, the rich demographic composition of
Florida, ranking third for the number of immigrants living within its
borders, provides a steady supply of vulnerable victims for traffickers
to prey on. From prostitution to indentured servants to migrant farm
workers, Florida exhibits a uniquely high demand for traffickers to
profit from. READ MORE
These
findings highlight the fact that there is significant room for public
intervention on behalf of human trafficking victims. Although the
forced labor and sexual exploitation of trafficking victims occurs
behind closed doors, the victims exist in the same space as everyone
else. Consequently, it is inevitable that community members run into
victims of human trafficking as they go about the routine activities of
their day. The staggering number of individuals who are encountered but
not identified as victims shows that there is a significant gap that
needs to be addressed by community members in order to abolish modern
day slavery.
