Did you know, nearly 40% of both s*x and labor trafficking victims in the US are initially trafficked by their intimate partner?

One of the most common recruitment techniques used by traffickers is to groom their victims by using love or the promise of a relationship. This could be romantic love, friendship, or even familial love. Traffickers use love as a way to manipulate their potential victims into cooperating in their own exploitation. Often, these complex relationships created make it difficult for survivors to leave their trafficking situation.

- Our team provided unique trainings last month (aside from our conference), to over 400 community members from various groups throughout the county!
- We were present at 10 events throughout the county interacting with so many wonderful community members!

We want to thank you all for your participation and willingness to work with us to bring awareness to Human Trafficking in Riverside County!
