Abstract

Sex and labor trafficking crimes are on the rise in Maine. While many organizations in the state are working to support trafficking victims, the article highlights the work of Preble Street Anti-Trafficking Services (ATS). Prisca Niyonzima is a case manager at ATS. She stresses that ATS works hard to build trust with survivors, and she explains how they provide training to community organizations, so that they can refer people in trouble to ATS. Hailey Virusso, Preble Street's Director of Anti-Trafficking and Teen Outreach Services, briefly discusses the invisibility of labor trafficking. Sidebars include key definitions, a list of other organizations involved in anti-trafficking work, and questions to ask someone you suspect of being trafficked.
