❌MYTH: Trafficking rarely involves the internet or online interactions; most cases start through strangers approaching children in public places.
✅TRUTH: Many trafficking situations begin with online grooming, where predators use social media platforms, gaming communities, and messaging apps to build trust with children. Grooming online can escalate into in-person trafficking, where the child is coerced into ongoing sexual exploitation, often for profit.
Human trafficking isn’t new but it’s one of the largest, most pervasive crises of our time. And it’s happening right now in our neighborhoods, communities, and nations.
It’s woven into nearly every part of our lives—affecting the clothes we wear, the food we eat, the goods we buy, and the media we consume.
As traffickers adapt using new technologies and communication channels to recruit, coerce, and control victims in increasingly sophisticated ways—so do our actions.
That’s exactly what the Global Freedom Summit is all about: evolving our strategies, raising awareness, and empowering communities to fight back.
We’re taking action and we need you with us.
