PROTECT
YOURSELF: WARNING SIGNS
- Does
a job or other opportunity sound too good to be true?
- Are
you being promised lots of money, a great life, and
lots of nice things?
- Are
you being chosen because you are young, good looking,
and of a particular sex?
- Is
it unimportant that you have no skills or qualifications?
- Is
someone offering to pay your travel expenses, saying
they can be repaid once you start working?
- Will
somebody get travel and/or identification documents
for you?
- Are
these documents legal or fake (illegal)?
- If
you have a passport, have you been told to give it
to somebody who will "keep it safe" for
you?
- If
you are to go abroad, will you be illegal in the other
country?
- Can
you not give your family and friends exact information
about who is taking you, where you will be working
and how to get in touch with you?
- Are
you being told what to say to officials at airports
or seaports?
- Are
you being urged to lie?
- Will
the journey be dangerous? Will you have to hide or
travel only at night?
- Is
there fear of the police?
These
are all signs that a TRAFFICKER is trying to lure you
into a life of exploitation, prostitution, forced labour,
and possibly even death. DO NOT GO, and STAY AWAY from
the person urging you to go with him or her.
