We will continue to educate the public about the need for prevention and prosecution as ways to end human trafficking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Statistics rank Florida as the third most popular trafficking destination in the country.\u00a0 Half of all trafficking victims are children. The Department of Children and Families is committed to taking a leadership role in efforts to abolish human trafficking in Florida.<\/p>\n<p>Secretary Sheldon co-chairs the Florida Statewide Task Force on Human Trafficking along with Florida Department of Law Enforcement Commissioner Gerald Bailey.\u00a0 The task force was created during the 2009 legislative session to examine the scope of the human trafficking problem in Florida and to recommend strategies and actions for eliminating the unlawful trafficking of men, women and children in Florida.<\/p>\n<p>Under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, certified victims of human trafficking are eligible for refugee benefits. The Refugee Services office within the Department has played a key role in providing services to both adult and child victims.<\/p>\n<p>Suspected trafficking can be reported to U.S. Department of Justice Trafficking in Persons and Worker Exploitation hotline at 1-888-428-7581 or local law enforcement.\u00a0 Trafficking cases involving children can be reported to the Florida Abuse Hotline at 1-800-96ABUSE.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CONTACT: DCF Communications (850) 488-4855 DCF Urges Floridians to Be  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1032","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news-and-articles","wpautop"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.7 -
