 Welcome to All Hands Up Date, I'm Petty Officer Tyrell Morris, January's National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month, and the Department of Defense wants you to be familiar with some of the signs. Human trafficking is the use of force, fraud or coercion to recruit, harbor, transport or obtain a person for commercial sex or labor services. Every year, millions of people are victims of human trafficking. The DOD wants you to be aware of possible trafficking and what you can do to avoid these situations. For more information and resources about human trafficking, visit the DOD's Combating Trafficking in Persons website. If you see something suspicious or an instance of human trafficking, visit the DOD Inspector General website or call their hotline to report it.
