OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) â It s National Human Trafficking Awareness Week, and officials on both a state and federal level want those in Nebraska to remember that trafficking isnât just happening in larger, coastal cities.
When one thinks of human trafficking, they may conjure very graphic images of victims being abducted, physically held against their will in some large city like New York or Los Angeles.
But often the ties that bind victims of trafficking are mental and economic, things like addiction and citizenship status. Even in the middle of the country, Nebraska does not escape this form of modern slavery.
