This sand serves as a symbol of the experiences of human trafficking victims. People who endure human trafficking often feel as though they’ve metaphorically fallen through the cracks and are living in darkness.
People outside of Crockett and Haywood Counties can also engage in the Red Sand Project. Participation is simple.
One needs to only fill a sidewalk crack with red sand; then, they can share the image of the sand on their social networking accounts with the hashtags #ithastostop and #redsandprojecttn.
A growing plight
While human trafficking cases do not often make front-page news or nationwide headlines, they remain alive and well.
In Valley Mills, Texas, authorities managed to rescue nine different victims of human trafficking. Meanwhile, in Nashville, Tennessee, law enforcement apprehended one dozen men involved in sex trafficking.
For every story that makes the news, there exist at least several that have yet to earn a spot in the media. Others may never be publicly known.
