Harry Reid International Airport has launched a new anti-human trafficking campaign aimed at raising awareness among the millions of travelers who pass through one of the nation’s busiest airports, officials said this morning.
The “I Am Not a Souvenir” initiative features messaging throughout the airport, which handles the eighth-highest passenger traffic in the United States. Officials say the airport’s high volume makes it an ideal location to educate the public about recognizing signs of human trafficking.
The Clark County Department of Aviation, which operates the airport, has positioned awareness materials in strategic locations, including inside all bathroom stalls. The private nature of restrooms provides what officials describe as potentially life-saving information to trafficking victims in one of their only opportunities to be alone.
Airport employees and partners also receive training to identify potential trafficking indicators and respond appropriately, officials said in a news release.
“As the first and last impression of Las Vegas, Harry Reid International Airport serves millions of passengers every year, creating an important opportunity to share information and connect individuals with help,” said James Chrisley, Clark County director of aviation, in a statement. “By placing these messages where thousands of travelers pass every hour, we can help increase the likelihood that someone will recognize a warning sign or reach out for assistance. Our goal is to ensure that resources and support are visible and available.”
Harry Reid International was among the first U.S. airports to display human trafficking awareness signage in bathroom stalls. The airport works with local, state and federal law enforcement to strengthen reporting channels.
People who believe they are being trafficked can text “HELP” to 233733, call 1-888-373-7888 or use QR codes posted throughout the airport.
They may also seek help from airport employees or law enforcement officers. In emergencies, travelers should call 911 or contact the Airport Control Center at 702-261-5125, option 1.
