“What if the world turns less on what we say, and more on what we have the courage to hear? It’s a hard thing to listen--truly listen--to another person. It often means getting so close to their suffering that it breaks our own hearts. But inside our open, broken hearts--that's where compassion lies."

Do you know what human trafficking and sexual exploitation look like?
Through our Faces of Human Trafficking video series, we hope you are willing to listen to what may be difficult to hear. And to see beyond the myths, stereotypes and personal biases you may have.
The truth is that human trafficking knows no boundaries. It crosses race, gender, age and socioeconomic status. And because of that, it’s a community problem that is begging for a community response. As we educate ourselves and invite others to do the same, we will be better equipped to address what is now, largely, an invisible injustice. Not because it isn’t happening to people we may know and see everyday, but because we are afraid to look. Let’s lean into our common humanity, tap into our compassion, and work together to create offramps to freedom for those who have experienced sexual exploitation.
Over the past several weeks we have been posting a new video in this 5-part educational video series. We invite you to watch them, to share them and to take whatever next step makes sense for you.
