Ohio Governor's Human Trafficking Task Force

Human_Trafficking_Logo.jpgJanuary is Human Trafficking Awareness Month. Human trafficking is a modern-day form of slavery involving the illegal trade of human beings for the purpose of exploitation for commercial gain, and is happening here in Ohio.

A preliminary report on the scope of the problem in Ohio cited nine out of 10 children who run away from home end up in the child sex trafficking business. The most common age in Ohio for youths to become child sex trafficking victims is 13 years old.

Additionally the Ohio Human Trafficking Task Force has created a 1 CE hour human trafficking training video. Click Here.

To raise statewide awareness, the Ohio Attorney General’s Office and the Ohio Human Trafficking Task Force have created messaging and visuals available for Ohio districts and schools. Please visit the links below for additional information, fact sheets and posters on human trafficking.
