Some great ways to support these anti-human trafficking organizations are as follows:
- Following them on social media and spreading the word about the fight against human trafficking
- Donating and/or purchasing merchandise
- Attending events
- Taking advantage of volunteer opportunities
There is no time like the present to help raise awareness and join with those who are committed to a world without human trafficking.
It matters how human trafficking is talked about
Many people have been misguided into believing that most human trafficking incidents transpire like the plot of the 2008 movie, Taken.
Taken was a huge hit and a much-loved film. However, the majority of human trafficking incidents do not involve one traveling overseas and being abducted from a hotel room by strangers.
Many human traffickers pose as friends, love interests, boyfriends/girlfriends, and even employers. Oftentimes, traffickers take time to build rapport with victims and subsequently isolate them from others before exploitation begins.
