Making A Difference Through Education

• 

  First Responders

  We educate social workers, law enforcement, educators, and members of the judicial system. We see these public servants as first responders.

  What to Look For

• 

  Community Advocates

  Our goal is to partner with community advocates to raise awareness of trafficking issues in West Michigan and empower them to engage victims.

• 

  Teens

  We put tools and information in the hands of at risk teens that help them recognize warning signs of trafficking, fight back, and #stopthistraffic.

Treat

We invite churches, local social groups, organizations, institutions of higher learning, and businesses to raise awareness and funding for anti-sex trafficking programming and we collaborate with these groups to find solutions for our community.

  Human Trafficking is a complex issue, though there is data to show its existence it is hard to quantify the number of cases from state to state.

  Human Trafficking involves movement across state or national borders

  Human Trafficking does not require movement. In fact a person could be trafficked while living in their own homes.
