>>> UNFORTUNATELY WE KNOW THAT HUMAN TRAFFICKING IS HAPPENING
RIGHT HERE IN WESTERN
WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON. WOULD YOU RECOGNIZE THE SIGNS
IF YOU SAW IT HAPPENING.
ONE OF THE BIGGEST WAYS IN AND
OUT OF SEATTLE IS STEPPING UP
EFFORTS. THE PORT OF SEATTLE AND
MAR BRETTMAN ARE WORKING ON
STEPPING UP EFFORTS.
>> WE HELP BUSINESS LEADERS AS
WELL AS EMPLOYEES TO KNOW THE
SIGNS OF TRAFFICKING AND
PREVENTED.
PREVENTED. >> YOU HAVE TAUGHT US THAT
THERE ARE PLACES LIKE HOTELS OR
ON THE BUS OR AIRPORTS WHERE
PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW WHAT THEY
ARE LOOKING FOR TO INTERVENE.
>> EXACTLY.
>> EXACTLY. >> WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS
PARTNERSHIP WITH THE PORT.
>> WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT THIS
FOR SEVERAL YEARS.
SEATTLE USES AIRPORTS AS WELL
AS SEAPORTS TO TRAFFIC PEOPLE.
THEY ARE WELL PLACED.
>> IT IS UP IN MULTIPLE
LANGUAGES. RIGHT NOW THERE UP
IN ENGLISH AND THEN THEY WILL BE
POSTING SOON.
POSTING SOON. THE PORT WORKED WITH KING
COUNTY AND THE CITY OF SEATTLE
TO PUT SIGNS ACROSS THE COUNTY
THAT ARE IN MULTIPLE LANGUAGES.
>> WE ARE THRILLED BECAUSE WE
HAVE JUST WORKED WITH THE PORT
OF SEATTLE.
OF SEATTLE. WE HAVE THE FIRST ONLINE
TRAINING THAT WAS CREATED BY A
PORT AUTHORITY IN THE U.S. WE
HAVE JUST LAUNCHED THAT AND IT
IS AVAILABLE FOR EMPLOYEES OF
THE PORT RIGHT NOW TO LEARN HOW
TO IDENTIFY TRAFFICKING IF IT'S
COMING THROUGH THE AIRPORT OR
THE SEAPORT.
THE SEAPORT. >> WILL THAT BE AVAILABLE TO
OTHER AREAS?
OTHER AREAS? ONCE YOU HAVE IT ONLINE YOU
SHOULD HOPEFULLY SHARE IT WITH
EVERYBODY.
EVERYBODY. >> THE PORT WAS SO GENEROUS IN
THE WAY THAT THEY WORKED THIS
CONTRACT BECAUSE WE ARE
ACTUALLY WORKING WITH A COUPLE
OF OTHER REPORTS RIGHT NOW.
>> GIVE ME A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES
OF WHAT THEY MIGHT SEE THAT WE
WOULD NOT THINK OF BUT IS
SOMETHING THAT THEY SHOULD BE
NOTICING.
NOTICING.
NOTICING. >> SOME OF THE STORIES WE HAVE
HEARD OUR A PERSON TAKING
ANOTHER PERSON TO AN AIRPORT
AND FIND THEM SOMEWHERE AND THE
PEOPLE DO NOT EVEN KNOW EACH
OTHER.
OTHER.
OTHER. WHEN THEY ARE CHECKING IN, FOR
EXAMPLE THE PERSON AT CHECK IN
NOTICES THAT THERE IS IS AN
UNUSUAL RELATIONSHIP HERE.
THEY SEE SIGNS OF CONTROL OR
COERCION OR MAYBE ONE PERSON IS
INJURED.
INJURED.
INJURED. THOSE THAT ARE WORKING AT THE
AIRPORT CAN START TO ASK MORE
QUESTIONS OR AT LEAST BE
OBSERVING WHAT IS HAPPENING.
>> IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WE AS
PASSENGERS CAN DO IF WE SEE
SOMEBODY THAT LOOKS LIKE THEY
ARE IN DISTRESS OR LOST IN THE
AIRPORT?
AIRPORT?
AIRPORT? ARE THERE QUESTIONS WE CAN ASK
OR ANYTHING WE CAN DO THAT
MIGHT BE HELPFUL.
>> WE INTERVIEWED A NUMBER OF
SURVIVORS TO ASK THEM WHAT
WOULD YOU HAVE WANTED SOMEBODY
TO DO.
TO DO.
TO DO. THE AFTER THAT WE GOT WAS ASKED
THIS QUESTION.
THIS QUESTION. ARE YOU OKAY.
IT'S AN OPEN-ENDED QUESTION IF
SOMEBODY WANTS TO SAY NO THEY
CAN BUT IF THEY WANT TO ASK FOR
HELP THEY CAN.
A COMPASSIONATE ARE YOU OKAY,
DO YOU NEED HELP, FOLLOWING THAT
ARE YOU SAFE.
>> WHAT A GOOD QUESTION.
HOPEFULLY SOMEBODY CAN TELL YOU
AND ONCE THE SIGNS ARE UP THEY
CAN TELL YOU.
WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO AS PEOPLE
TO HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM.
IF YOU DO NOT SEE IT IN YOUR
EVERYDAY LIFE YOU MAY NOT KNOW
THE EXTENT OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING.
>> WATCH FOR THE SIGNS OF
FORCE, COERCION, CONTROL.
ANYTIME A MINOR IS INVOLVED
THAT IS CONSIDERED HUMAN
TRAFFICKING UNDER FEDERAL LAW.
WATCHING FOR THOSE SIGNS IS THE
BEST THING IF YOU ASKED THEM IF
THEY ARE OKAY AND THEY SAY I
NEED HELP YOU CAN ASK DO YOU
WANT ME TO CALL POLICE.
IF THEY DO, AND WHEN ONE IF
IT'S AN EMERGENCY OR A CHILD IS
INVOLVED BUT SOMETIMES THEY DO
NOT WANT POLICE TO BE CALLED.
THEY FEEL LIKE IT WILL PUT THEM
IN MORE DANGER WITH THEIR
TRAFFIC OR SOMEBODY ELSE.
THERE'S A HOTLINE THAT THEY CAN
CALL IN ORDER TO GET HELP.
IT IS MULTILINGUAL AND 24 HOURS
AND A VERY EASY WAY TO ACCESS
SERVICES.
