Ohio Governor's Human
Trafficking Task Force
January 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 link below for this and
other resources.
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 link
