Presentation

Human Trafficking

" Know how to SPOT it and together we can STOP it"

The #KnowHumanTrafficking campaign aims to raise public awareness about human trafficking and educate people about how they can help those at-risk. Human Trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery and a billion-dollar industry! Often hiding in plain sight, no community is immune to its existence. Human Trafficking is ugly and horrific but we need to think about it and we need to talk about it because it’s happening everywhere. Awareness and education are vital to end this heinous crime.
