By Commissioner René GarcíaHuman trafficking is a grave crime against human dignity and a reality that affects communities around the world, including our county. It is crucial to understand that human trafficking, whether sexual or labor-related, is not confined to kidnappings, taking victims across borders, or organized networks. Additionally, it is important to know that authorities and the National Human Trafficking Hotline (1-888-373-7888) are always available to provide assistance or report suspicious activity. Recently, I met with the Human Trafficking Coalition, representatives from Miami-Dade Public Schools, and the Share Your Heart Foundation to strengthen prevention, education, and inter-institutional coordination. I encourage residents and visitors alike to stay informed, report suspicious activity, and support local initiatives that combat human trafficking.
