The problem of human trafficking is both a global crisis and a local crime. While there are many forms of human trafficking and related crimes, one of the most common is sex trafficking.
WHAT IS SEX TRAFFICKING?
A commercial sex act that is induced by force, fraud, or coercion, or in which the person induced to perform such an act has not attained 18 years of age.
WALK with us!
Our kick-off location is the parking lot of First Baptist Church of Graham. We'll share key statistics and information, action steps, and plans. Handouts will be available, as well as details for next events, and how you can get involved.
We'll walk around a portion of downtown Graham to boldly show our support for those affected by trafficking, and our passion to END these crimes. We will walk in silence, out of respect of those silenced by these crimes
If you can wear blue, please do! Blue is a color to represent human trafficking. Blue hearts are awesome!!
Educate yourself about human trafficking and how you can take action to stay safe and be a part of the solution. Then, share what you have learned with others.
Can you help? We need volunteers!
