When considering the gravity and scope of an issue as prevalent as human trafficking, we must all be a part of the solution. It is also often believed that human trafficking victims will always seek help in public settings, including the hotels they are brought to by their traffickers. On the contrary, human trafficking exists in every country, and can target victims of any age, race, gender, and nationality in cities, suburbs, rural towns, and otherwise unsuspecting communities. Recent research by The Canadian Centre to End Human Trafficking even revealed that while over 69% of Canadians feel that the average Canadian doesn’t understand the issue of sex trafficking, a staggering 93% believe it’s important to raise awareness and increase education. The World Day Against Trafficking in Persons is observed annually on July 30 to raise awareness about human trafficking and to promote and protect the rights of trafficking victims. That’s why the UN, and nonprofit organizations like the Safe House Project, are dedicated to bringing awareness to the issue of human trafficking.
