Modern Slavery Signs - How To Spot A Victim 

Victims are often unable to access passports, IDs, or work permits because traffickers confiscate them to maintain control.

Being constantly monitored, escorted, or prevented from leaving work or living premises is a major red flag of coercion.

Unexplained injuries, untreated medical conditions, or signs of malnourishment can indicate exploitation and control.

Working extremely long hours for little or no wages is a common indicator of forced labor or debt bondage.

Victims may report owing large debts for travel, housing, or recruitment fees that keep them trapped in exploitative conditions.

Being forced to sleep in overcrowded or unsafe conditions at a job site often signals labor exploitation.

Victims may appear anxious, avoid eye contact, or defer to another person who speaks on their behalf.

Limited language skills combined with someone else controlling conversations can indicate coercion and isolation.

Groups of workers being transported together at odd hours under supervision can point to organized exploitation.

If someone has no control over their earnings or bank account and relies on another person for basic expenses, it may signal control and exploitation.
