Community Resources
Everyone has a role to play.
Human trafficking – or modern-day slavery – persists, in part, because of the myths that surround it and a lack of understanding about who victims are, the methods traffickers use to exploit them, and the role that purchasing sex plays in fueling the demand for sex trafficking. While TAT equips and mobilizes corporations and government entities to use their infrastructure, assets and capabilities to combat human trafficking at a systemic level, the reality is that each individual has a critical role to play in their own spheres of influence, community and home.
