Not for sale! Human trafficking is happening right in front of us! Be aware. Ask questions.
Human trafficking and sex trafficking affects an estimated 40 million people and it’s not just abroad. It’s everywhere and it’s happening in your town too! 40 million is the amount of children and adults currently trapped in modern slavery and human trafficking (stopthetraffik.org). We need to ask more questions, be more mindful and get involved. In this hard hitting interview with Kimberly Miles, Founder of B.E. A S.H.E.R.O. Foundation, she’s sharing what’s going on today in America and Worldwide and how her foundation is offering solutions and support for girls in vulnerable situations who have been abused, abandoned and exploited.
