Put Human Trafficking Awareness on Your Back-to-School Checklist
Are you preparing your school or your children for a new school year? While you’re gathering supplies and doing your back-to-school shopping, don't forget that human traffickers can use this busy season to identify vulnerable people to exploit. You can help protect children by adding a lesson in human trafficking awareness to your reading material:
First lesson: Learn how human trafficking can affect youth with Blue Campaign resources.
Next lesson: Find out how you can help based on your role in your community. There are even specific resources for student and community leaders!
Final project: Share what you learned with your network. Remember, every chance to spread awareness can help make a difference.
Members of the Public: You can spread awareness about human trafficking by learning how to identify indicators of suspicious activity. Explore our website to see what the indicators of human trafficking are and what you can do if you see them.
