Today is dedicated to awareness, prevention and looking for warning signs.
There are a number of organizations that are working to end human trafficking and other working to help the victims.
Locally, Women At Risk, International continues to educate and create a circle or protection around those at risk.
Through cultural intervention projects and partnerships they provide safe places to heal from abuse, trafficking, exploitation and more. They empower survivors to live and work with dignity and hope.
