Update: World Day Against Trafficking in Persons

By Hanna Cody | Global Citizenship Fellowship Program

Trafficking

Dear Friend,

July 30^th is World Day Against Trafficking in Persons – a global day of awareness as well as a call to action to end this exploitative industry. To honor this day, End Trafficking co-hosted a Twitter chat with the U.S. Department of Education’s Readiness and Emergency Management Technical Assistance (REMS TA) Center to talk about the role of school communities in addressing child trafficking. We heard contributions from the following organizations about what schools can do or are already doing to keep children safe from exploitation:

3Strands Global Foundation
A21
National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC)
SAFE Center
SchoolHouse Connections
Students Opposing Slavery, President Lincoln’s Cottage
UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC)
U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Homeless Education

Want to learn what YOU can do to end trafficking? Follow @EndTrafficking and @remstacenter and review the conversation by searching the hashtag #EveryChildFree on Twitter.
