One of the signs was a suspicious tattoo, potentially the brand of a trafficker. Through JVUB, youth on probation have been identified as victims of trafficking and connected with professionals qualified to help. We would love to have you join the team: https://t.co/yyLVZkpW9P

"The reality is that people can’t know where the videos are coming from, or whether the situations portrayed are faked fantasies or real abuse … and the idea of watching actual abuse and assault by accident is rather terrifying..." https://t.co/gU3MrOTn3O via @umbmassmedia

Opinion: Why heightened concern about porn, sex trafficking is needed right now https://t.co/gC0CQR4TOx

Right now, those economically affected by the virus are at high risk of becoming victims of human trafficking. Your generosity and willingness to help a neighbor in need could make a difference.

The sex industry likes to whitewash language. Why does the "adult" industry have a perverse fascination w/ depicting girls made to look (or who actually are) as young as possible—pigtails, lollipops, teddy bears. We aren't fooled. There's nothing adult about exploiting children.

"I was being raped, but I had a smile on my face. I had to act like I enjoyed it. And I can say that child pornography, as well as adult pornography, is directly tied to human trafficking." #BrainHeartWorld

We cannot let a health pandemic become a child abuse pandemic! The number one reporters of child abuse are teachers, but kids aren’t seeing them right now. Neighbors and other family members, PLEASE pay close attention. Learn more at @Childhelp & the National Child Abuse Hotline

Responding to the COVID-19 global health issue by encouraging and supplying access to... another global health issue? In the words of our executive director, “this isn’t much different than giving away free crack.”

During the pandemic, youth will be stressed & spending more time online. Traffickers see opportunity & won’t stop working. We can't stop working either.

We're all in this together. Be kind. Be human. Be a good neighbor. Honor the urgency of social distancing but let's be sure to check in with one another. Call, text, and when appropriate, make short visits. Drop off food & supplies for those that are isolated or self-quarantined.

[SPACE International @SPACEintl]

For those who say "sex work is a job like any other", what other job is there where rape is an "occupational hazard"?

Three high schoolers are educating their peers on the "subtle nature" of human trafficking by taking what was hidden in plain sight and putting it on a stage. "Free to Fly" tells the story of how anyone, anywhere can become a victim of sex trafficking.
