“Human trafficking is an evil practice that happens all across the country, and Pennsylvania is not immune to it. Hotel and service-industry workers tend to be on the front lines of witnessing the crime and are at risk of being victimized themselves. With the Philadelphia Airport located in my district and major interstate routes passing through our region, trafficking is especially pervasive here,” said State Representative Regina Young. “We also want to bring into this discussion online reservation platforms for long- and short-term lodging, as they are the modern standard for reservations, allowing easier trafficking through bypassing actual human interaction. Making sure lodging associates are trained to understand what human trafficking can be is a crucial step in identifying and reporting those being trafficked. We must do all we can to end this heinous crime.” Read more
