Human Trafficking Awareness and Prevention
Human trafficking is the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for a commercial sex act or labor services through force, fraud, or coercion. It is modern-day slavery. Most importantly, we want every man, woman, and child to know about slavery and how they can help to end the demand.
