HUMAN TRAFFICKING - ANOTHER FORM OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN
Did you know? 71% of all human trafficking involves women and girls. This is why we need VAWA (Violence Against Women Act). We need protections in place to end gender-based violence. The National Human Trafficking Hotline (1-888-373-7888) has identified more than 47,000 cases of human trafficking across the United States since the phone lines opened in 2007.
Perhaps you are not aware human trafficking is a pervasive problem spanning all across the United States and indeed all across the world. Consider this: Recently law enforcement in 12 states conducted a coordinated sex trafficking bust. Over 100 were arrested and 47, including 2 minors, were rescued and given medical treatment.
