#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. #EndHumanTrafficking

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.

Happy Pink Shirt Day from SASC! Today we are wearing pink to protest against homophobic bullying and to stand in solidarity with those who have experienced it. Homophobia and bullying of any kind have no place in our community. #PinkShirtDay

#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.

Myth: Human trafficking happens when someone is kidnapped, held captive and sold. Fact: Traffickers often pose as a boyfriend, friend or protector at first, win the person’s love or trust, and then manipulate and exploit them. #KnowHumanTrafficking #HumanTraffickingAwarenessDay

⚠️ #DYK that someone may be a victim of #HumanTrafficking but still living at home, attending school, or participating in their usual activities, particularly in the earlier stages of #exploitation? Educate yourself about human trafficking to #EndHumanTrafficking.

#DYK that chains, ropes, & cages are not typically used nor necessary to traffic someone? Traffickers often play mind games to create an attachment & control individuals psychologically. Educate yourself about #HumanTrafficking to #EndHumanTrafficking. 👉 loom.ly/Qvooaes
