Connecting the Dots. Strengthening Communities. Preventing Trafficking.
Connecting the dots between human trafficking, online harassment and abuse, interpersonal violence, and other forms of violence can disrupt multiple forms of exploitation. Understanding the role of economic mobility, desires for connection, technology, and market dynamics can prevent some of the most predictable recruitment schemes into human trafficking. Building healthy relationships and strengthening the resilience of communities and industries can protect against vulnerabilities to human trafficking.
See how you can take action to strengthen your community by using the Human Trafficking Prevention Month toolkit. It is designed to educate and equip individuals and organizations with the resources they need to raise awareness and foster meaningful connections to prevent trafficking.
