This issue is important because it is all around us. We don’t know how many people we pass by in malls, on the street, or on the road who have experienced this type of inhumane experience. Anyone is susceptible to being a victim of human trafficking. The graph below shows how much human trafficking is prevalent and expanding around the globe. We must do more to make sure these victims are taken care of and treated in the best way possible. A little bit of help from each person goes a long way. Some ways you could contribute to the fight are being correctly informed, spreading the word through all platforms, donating anti-trafficking groups, and reporting any suspicious activity you witness. Also, learn how your government handles human trafficking cases. Becoming educated in this area can allow for better conversations with representatives and a stronger understanding of what you are fighting for.
