“Conversion therapy is abuse, not free speech. The Supreme Court has failed in its most basic duty — to protect vulnerable young people. This decision puts LGBTQ+ youth directly in harm’s way.” Kim Villanueva, National NOW President

What is something all of these recruitment methods have in common? They began as relationships.

It’s more common for someone to be trafficked by a person they know than by a stranger.

Traffickers rarely start with threats.
They start with trust. With attention. With what looks like care.

But here’s the truth:�The same thing that can be used to exploit someone – a relationship – can also be the very thing that protects them.

Parents who stay involved.
Teachers who notice behavior changes.
Friends who ask deeper questions.
Neighbors who check in.

We are each other’s first line of defense. We are stronger together.

Safe relationships act as a shield. When someone is surrounded by support, traffickers can’t recruit easily without someone seeing the red flags.

That’s why understanding the signs of recruitment matters. The more informed we are, the more protected our communities become.

’s free resource library equips people to recognize dangerous relationships early, build safe connections, and prevent exploitation before it begins. Comment SAFE to download our Safe Relationships Guide and start building stronger, safer connections today.
