Facilitator

Facilitators: It is important to realize that human trafficking operations often intersect or exist alongside legitimate businesses. As a result, certain industries may help to enable, support, or facilitate human trafficking. This “support structure” may include a wide range of individuals, organizations, businesses and corporations, and Internet sites and practices. Common facilitators on which traffickers frequently rely include:

  • Hotels and Motels
  • Landlords
  • Labor brokers
  • Taxi and other driving services
  • Airlines, bus, and rail companies
  • Advertisers (Websites like Craigslist.com and Backpage.com; Phone books; Alternative newspapers)
  • Banks and other financial services companies
  • Inmate pen-pal services
