As the 2024 NFL Draft will be hosted in our amazing city of Detroit next week, please be aware that human trafficking will be at an all-time high - especially sex trafficking. Whenever a major event such as this one takes place, those who benefit from selling women and girls for sex will descend on our great city from all over the country. (Don't believe me? Do the research, it happens all over when big sporting events take place throughout the US - supply and demand! 😡) If this disgusting societal norm infuriates you as much as it does me, please consider making a donation to Alternatives For Girls to support their general programming needs. Alternatives For Girls has incredible teams of both paid and volunteer folks who are ramping up their already existing resources to provide outreach programs, shelter services, and other resources to women and young girls who are being trafficked for sex to help them escape this horrible situation. If you aren't part of the solution - then you are part of the problem.

Human trafficking and exploitation 30 July marks World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, and so we use this opportunity to raise awareness about the evolving trends in human trafficking. In 2022, the EU reported 23 registered victims per million inhabitants, up from 16 in 2021. The form of exploitation of these trafficked persons is evolving over time as well, with the number of victims trafficked for labour exploitation matching those for sexual exploitation for the first time in 2022. ✏️Created by Mandy Spaltman.

Today is World Day against Trafficking in Persons. This year’s theme is Leave No Child Behind in the fight against trafficking. We are proud to be working with PACT to #LeaveNoChildBehind and protect every child’s right to grow up free from child sexual exploitation and trafficking. Children deserve care, they deserve safety, and they deserve a childhood. We protect children from trafficking by cultivating educated employees and communities that can recognize the signs of trafficking and safely report them, by listening to lived experience experts, and by continuously reflecting on our duty to be proactive in this global problem. Join us in being a part of the solution: https://lnkd.in/dsnyPq72 #ProtectAllChildrenFromTrafficking #EndTrafficking #WeArePACT #WorldDayAgainstTraffickinginPersons

📍📍 📍 I am sharing an interesting report by the #OECD on Transparency in Reporting on Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (CSEA) online. Certainly, protecting children from CSEA in the digital world should be one of the priority areas to be rigorously emphasized during our Safeguarding and PSEA interventions. The report examines the policies and procedures in place against top 50 digital content-sharing platforms in the world. #Enjoy also reading the blog by OECD on the subject matter through the following link. https://lnkd.in/eNCPBH-d #OECD #ChildSafeguarding #PSEA
