#SexTrafficking, also known as commercial sexual exploitation, is forcing someone to provide commercial sexual services through manipulation, lies, threats, or violence for personal gain or in exchange for something of value like food, shelter, money, drugs or transportation.

In this stage of #HumanTrafficking, traffickers target individuals by surveilling social media for young people showing signs of low self-esteem, loneliness & lack of support, or spaces where vulnerable youth tend to frequent.

Misconceptions about #HumanTrafficking have helped misinformation about this crime spread rapidly #online.
This spread of misinformation has harmful impacts on the ability of the anti-trafficking community to protect those who have or are currently experiencing #exploitation.
Yes! #endhumantrafficking
When asking a survivor to leave a trafficking situation there may be multiple needs that they have. It can be challenging and frustrating for us to come up against multiple barriers or be unable to access a service. #survivorneeds #saferapidinclusiveaccess

#Halloween falls on #MythbusterMonday and we're celebrating early! There's tons of myths about #HumanTrafficking, making it harder for #parents to recognize when kids are in danger. Monitoring your child's phone & SM, not their candy, is the best way to focus on #childsafety.
