Law enforcement, local businesses and community members gathered in Oro Valley for an event to spread awareness of human trafficking.
TUCSON, Ariz. — 24.9 million- that's the estimated number of human trafficking victims around the world according to the International Labour Organization in 2016.
Thankfully, with the help of federal and local resources, the two female victims were able to be brought back home."It definitely takes a mental toll on them... It’s a long path for them once a victim and survivor gets out to integrate back into their life," said Special Agent Mikayla Petersen from the Tucson Department of Homeland Security.
Several local businesses, community members, and law enforcement gathered to bring attention to a matter that is happening around the world daily.“If you see something, say something. even if you’re not 100% sure, still report it, still call 911,” said Petersen.“A lot of the time they don’t see themselves as victims,” said Petersen.
