What can you do?
• Learn - First and foremost, learning the truth about human trafficking is critical. In order to be a strong advocate, you must first learn the facts. There are a number of misconceptions and sensationalism surrounding trafficking, so do your due diligence in your research in order to be well informed. Contact us to schedule a prevention education presentation to your group or at your school, church or community organization.
• Share - Once you have learned the truth about human trafficking, share with family, friends and especially your children. Engage in conversations with your children, sharing what you have learned and have open dialogue about the dangers they could encounter. Search for anti-trafficking organizations on social media and like/follow them. Share their posts and resources which is a great way to start raising awareness in your community.
• Get Involved - Volunteer with us or another organization in your area that is dedicated to fighting human trafficking.
