Information is POWER
Most efforts at prevention of human trafficking and exploitation target adult workers. There is little to no education regarding sex trafficking and exploitation of children and the youth – who are among the most vulnerable. These are evils and realities that most people do not want to acknowledge and exist in the world. A continued global public information campaign is needed to create public awareness and prevention.
