Airlines Join Fight Against Human Trafficking
According to Polaris, a non-profit group that fights human trafficking, 71 percents of the victims are on planes en-route to a life of sex, drugs, torture and possibly death.
The airline industry is now joining the fight to combat this growing problem.
Allison Ausband, senior vice-president in-flight service for Delta Airlines said "We don't want to miss an opportunity to help a victim," Delta Airlines launched its campaign January 11th which was National Human Trafficking Awareness Day.
The airlines also launched a public service video shown on its flights. Employees including Flight Attendants are receiving training on how to spot suspicious behavior.
