January is Human Trafficking Awareness and Prevention Month

January 17, 2023

According to HumanTrafficking-Hotline.org, Human trafficking can happen to anyone but some people are more vulnerable than others. The most vulnerable are likely to:

Have an unstable living situation
Have previously experienced other forms of violence
Have run away or are involved in the juvenile justice or child welfare system
Are undocumented immigrants
Are facing poverty
Or have or have a family member who has a substance use issue

In 2023, be a difference maker. Become aware of the warning signs and determine to be an advocate for those experiencing this horrible crime.
