Every grain of red sand represents a story—many painful, many unfinished, all deserving of attention. Between July 27 and August 2, organizations across Tennessee will join in this symbolic act, advancing a larger mission: to educate, act, and advocate. Awareness is only the first step. Ending trafficking requires
persistence, compassion, and collective determination.

An estimated 50 million people worldwide are thought to have experienced human trafficking.​

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s (TBI) 2024 Human Trafficking Statistical Report indicates that over the course of the last 7 years the number of human trafficking tips have dramatically increased from 722 in 2019 to over 1170 by 2024.​

TDH invites partners across the state to organize human trafficking awareness events in the month of July by participating in the Red Sand Project.

What is the Red Sand Project?​
The Red Sand Project is an interactive art exhibition designed to raise awareness of human trafficking. By spreading red sand in sidewalk cracks, the project brings attention to those who have “fallen through the cracks” in society.
