Educate others about domestic human trafficking
Most people have heard of human trafficking, but they don't know that it occurs in their own state. Even many government officials and law enforcement professionals aren't aware of this issue that takes place in our own backyards.
Part of this is due to ignorance and some of it is blamed on the fact that prostitution is still considered, by many, to be a victimless crime. Human trafficking often lurks behind prostitution, gangs, drug dealers and other organized and non-organized crime.
Educate your friends and family:
1. Refer them to the Barnaba Institute Website, especially the FAQs page
2. Invite them to support the Barnaba Institute on Change.org
We must come together as a society and speak the truth. Hiding behind ignorance and falsities will only compound the daily suffering of hundreds of thousands of American girls, boys and young adults who are exploited and trafficked every day, here in America.
Please invite others to take action. Thank you for your commitment!
This is an ongoing pledge that should be fulfilled as often as possible.

If i am the rich person in the country, i will do all my best to stop the human trafficking.
But i am just a simple person, i will just pray that there is someone who can solve this problem.

If your friends, family have never heard of human-trafficking, it's time the learn about it because it's happening every where! It's time to be informed when it comes to the rights of humans, and to know that our people are safe & not in such horrible danger!

dissemination of information to the public is the best key to eradicate this kind of menace in the society

It makes me sick and angry to think, to know, that this is going on in my beautiful city, state, and country. If I can save one life...

Not nearly enough people know about this and it is becomming such a widespread problem that I feel it is my duty to change that.
Francis Pruett San Diego, CA @ 03:38PM PT May 08
I have focused on the practice in San Diego County among Mexican and Mexican American gangs and criminal syndicates of crossing over (both south and north) girls who are then forced to work as prostitutes. I will continue to do so, gladly.
