The National Human Trafficking Resource Center, a 24 hour national hotline call center, has reported that there were 9,298 possible human trafficking cases between Dec. 7, 2007 and Dec. 31, 2012. I do not want to bombard you with all of the trends in one post. Each day this week, I will provide one highlight from the report.

The first highlight: "41 percent of sex trafficking cases and 20 percent of labor trafficking cases involved U.S. citizens as victims." - NHTRC
