Here is your weekly roundup of human trafficking stories in the news. We hope to highlight the good work that U.S. law enforcement and citizens are doing to fight human trafficking across the country. O.U.R. was not involved unless specified.
9 men are facing charges for child sexual exploitation due to law enforcement’s valiant efforts in Operation Silent Predator. The ages of the suspects range from 23-65.
The two survivors from this case were offered aftercare services from the Refugee Immigrant Center-Asian Association of Utah. O.U.R. is grateful to have partnered with AAU for several years now. We believe that survivor services are always stronger when we work in unity. As we all stand together, we can strengthen the fight against human trafficking in the U.S. and abroad.
$25k was generously donated to a program in Virginia to help survivors of human trafficking find stable jobs and housing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
O.U.R. joined forces with Colonial Flag Foundation in creating the 2nd Annual Virtual Healing Field® for Child Abuse Prevention. Visit the Virtual Healing Field® website: www.healingfield.org/event/ourchildabuseprevention/ and plant a virtual flag to join in the fight against child abuse.
