"People really do not believe this is a real issue," says the co-executive director of a Boston organization that helps survivors of human trafficking.
But that's about to change thanks to a $100,000 grant from the state of Massachusetts.
The grant from the attorney general's office will go to police departments in Cape and Islands to build cases against perpetrators, as well as to train hospitality and healthcare workers to identify sex trafficking, the Boston Globe reports.
It will also go to support survivors.
"While we are certainly happy to receive these funds, we will be seeking additional funding so we can promote awareness of human trafficking, so we can help our law enforcement partners build the investigations they need to bring their cases, so we can help survivors, and of course prosecute offenders," Cape and Islands District Attorney Rob Galibois said at a press conference Monday, per the Cape Cod Times.
Galibois says his office has seen a 30% increase in cases since he was sworn in as district attorney in 2023.
A prosecutor in his office tells the Times that human trafficking isn't just prostitution or transporting victims over international borders; it can include driving a victim to a hotel, or driving them to someone's house, where they are paid for services.
