Today is National Human Trafficking Awareness Day. Trafficking in persons is a particular type of violence that is pervasive yet widely misunderstood. It affects every country, including the United States. In 2019 alone, there were 11,500 tips of human trafficking reported to the U.S. National Human Trafficking Hotline. It is a common misconception that victims are locked away or hidden, but they are often in plain sight such as at bars, casinos, and nail salons. Also, trafficked persons may not reach out for help because they may blame themselves, feel stigmatized, or do not know their rights in America. #UnitedAgainstViolence
