The Louisiana Legislative Auditor has recently released a report, “Challenges and Gaps in Louisiana’s Efforts to Address Human Trafficking.” The report states that there are some regions of the state that have addressed some human trafficking concerns, but a concerted statewide campaign is needed to alert Louisiana residents how to recognize and report suspected cases of sexual and labor trafficking. 57% of trafficked victims are children and about 91% of them are female.
The Advocates’ Jacqueline Derobertis recently wrote an interesting article about human trafficking in Louisiana, “Despite anti-human trafficking efforts, Louisiana still struggling, report says.” Louisiana needs to improve the data collection, placement options, mental health services, and funding for human trafficking victims.
