Resources for Peace and Justice Endeavors

Human Trafficking is more than an international issue.  Trafficking is a growing local issue.  Whether it is labor or sex trafficking we are witnessing it in Plain Sight.

**There are more massage parlors in in San Jose, CA than Starbucks
**A 15 year old was recently rescued in San Jose after spending 3 years as a victim. The teenager ran away from home when she was 12 and had been shuttled from city to city in the US.
Lets rethink Trafficking using different words.
When we rephrase our language, we change our thinking.
From: johns, buyers To rapists, pedophiles, abusers, exploiters
From prostitute, whore courtesan To victims, exploited.
