It's National Human Trafficking Awareness Day. Did you know that human trafficking happens in every city, suburb, and rural area throughout the US? Every day, there are men, women, and children being victimized by labor and sex trafficking in YOUR community. Here are 3 things you can do today to raise awareness and support survivors: LEARN: Learn about the realities of what human trafficking actually looks like. While kidnapping and smuggling can happen, the overwhelming majority of trafficking victims know their traffickers and are coerced or forced into exploitation through existing vulnerabilities. Here are our favorite resources as a starting point:
"What is Exploitation?" A video by Red Oak Hope
2019 Data Report from the US National Human Trafficking Hotline
Myths, Facts, and Statistics by Polaris Project
