Blog Takeover by the KHS Project Protect Our Children Human Trafficking Awareness Club!
Fact: Human trafficking is modern day slavery and one of the fastest growing risks to students.
It is also the fastest-growing organized criminal activity in the United States and is making over $32 billion a year for traffickers while destroying the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocent children. This is why it is so important to arm students, parents, school educators and our community with the knowledge needed to identify and prevent child sex trafficking, exploitation and abuse. Prevention is everything and together, through education, we can prevent the crime before it happens. Change can happen with training on human trafficking and raising awareness.
Members of the KHS Project Protect Our Children Human Trafficking Awareness Club are using our passion to make a difference, and are quickly becoming champions in the fight against human trafficking. Throughout January, we are bringing Human Trafficking Awareness to KHS through educating peers, school personnel and our community through events and activities.
Child sex trafficking and exploitation is not limited to any race, ethnicity or socioeconomic status. The reality is traffickers/predators prey on children and young adults since they are most vulnerable. Traffickers are master manipulators. They will use a child’s innocent nature and the promise of a perfect life to entice and entrap them. No community, urban, rural, or suburban is immune. Child sex trafficking is one of the most abhorrent crimes today, and also one of the most challenging for communities to recognize and address.
It is estimated that there are currently over 79,000 minor victims of human trafficking in the state of Texas alone. *University of Texas at Austin, IDVSA, Human Trafficking by the Numbers
