Remember to educate yourself and avoid perpetuating harmful misconceptions. Checkout Shared Hope International's post about a common misconception when it comes to child s*x trafficking.

01/16/2023

Movies and television often show human trafficking as beginning with kidnapping by a stranger. In reality, people in s*x trafficking situations almost always know and even trust or love their traffickers. In fact, according to our 2020 data from the National Human Trafficking Hotline, in situations where we knew how the trafficking began, 42% of s*x trafficking victims were recruited by a family member and 39% were recruited by an intimate partner or marriage proposition. to learn the real story about human trafficking. Learn how false narratives about human trafficking are actively harming victims and survivors at polarisproject.org/listentosurvivors.

How to Talk to Kids About Po*******hy

"Although we should all take actions to minimize the chances of our children accidentally encountering po*******hy, the fact is that they may encounter it no matter what we do, and this risk increases as they get older, when they might actively seek it out themselves."

Having the “p**n talk” is something we all need to have with our children. Though we can minimize the chances of our kids seeing p**n, they may encounter it anyway.
