Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) are disproportionately represented in human trafficking statistics. Here are some statistics that show the racial disparities in trafficking: Black youth Black children are more likely to be arrested for juvenile prostitution (child sexual abuse) than other racial groups, making up 53% of all arrests. Black girls are also more likely to be trafficked at a younger age. For example, in King County, Washington, 52% of child sex trafficking victims are Black, even though Black children and adults only make up 7% of the population. Black women According to a two-year review of suspected human trafficking incidents, 40% of sex trafficking victims were Black women. In Cook County, Illinois, 66% of sex trafficking victims between 2012-2016 were Black women. In Nebraska, 50% of people sold online for sex are Black, even though Black people only make up 5% of the population. The National Human Trafficking Hotline also reports that Latinos are disproportionately represented among human trafficking victims and survivors. The sources of these statistics are The Polaris Project, The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, and Rights4Girls. #juneteenth #bipoc #survivorleaders

Faithfully fostering the eternal student for the betterment of humankind.
The "Rankins" have had a varied service history, originating in Europe and then migrating with a somewhat controversial narrative of its day. It transcended dissent of the age, from Ohio through PA, WV, and KY, and converted viewpoints until the unpopular narratives became acceptable, to the degree that liberty and equality became adoptable perspectives. Because of them, and our ancestor's dedication, we do not suffer as much for expressed truths. Remember that abiding by a truth in which YOU believe may not make you accepted by many, but it can plant the seeds that empower an enduring needed precept that goes far beyond the populism of the time. It is not for us to empower our standing with the acceptance of power-wielding idealogues but to enrich the world with an embraced truth that, when freed, will empower others. Identify the truths in which you stand, invest in them, and dedicate your mind, body, and spirit to them. If one person or a nation needs to hear it, preach, practice, and spread the truth through whatever occupation you pursue. It may be that self-actualization results, but the truth that touches others will outlive us and our comprehension of its historical progeny. Remember those who struggled for liberty, for US all, and revealed the injustices we must vigilantly defend against. From that, we should NOT divide ourselves, but unite. Find that truth, study it and invest faith and effort... then unleash it, and all its good upon the world. Just a truth https://lnkd.in/gYhXAH6b
