National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month
Every January, anti-trafficking advocates leverage National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month to raise awareness of modern slavery in the United States. ATEST has had the privilege to work with human trafficking survivor-advocates, whose voices are at the forefront of educating the public and policymakers about what is truly needed to combat human trafficking and to support trafficking survivors to fully recover and thrive. Here are three powerful opinion pieces by survivor leaders:
‘We Need Jobs, Not Pity’, by Evelyn Chumbow in CNN Freedom Project
‘Know Signs of Labor Trafficking’, by Harold d’Souza in the Cincinnati Enquirer
