human trafficking
WHAT IS IT?
Human trafficking isn’t random. It targets unmet needs & vulnerabilities. Meeting those basic needs and expanding opportunity helps close the doors traffickers may try to open.
"Survivors have taught us that traffickers expertly seek out people whose specific need they can fill. Sometimes they dangle material support – a good job, a safe place to stay, drugs. Often what they offer is less tangible but just as vital – the illusion of love, belonging, safety or acceptance."
