“Where do you think a lot of the human trafficking comes from?”
Mexico and Eastern Europe, but I get your point.
“Same with women’s shelters.”
I did some electrical work outside of one, and “had to sign” a NDA stating I wouldn’t divulge its location. (which I never would)
Before I knew what it was, I was wondering why I was getting such weird looks by people.
A muscular 6’2” 220 lbs, “lurking” outside an abused women’s shelter clarified that...(looking at electrical wiring)
I had a similar experience (worked as a plumber in College). I DID NOT KNOW what place it was at first.
A friend went into social work, and would tell me they would lose a lot of people to trafficking. Troubled kid would go into the system, and get lost. Later found in a morgue somewhere. A few she found were lured into prostitution, a few into the drug trade.
Not all places are bad. Probably not the majority of them. But they attract predators.
