We hope as we close out January, National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month, the spirit of the month can be a motivator for us all to take small steps in our everyday lives to shift our collective focus onto traffickers and exploitation, so that together we can create a culture that refuses to tolerate human trafficking.

Check out our CEO’s guest post at NSVRC to learn about the necessary shifts our country is making to focus on offenders and their behaviors. You’ll also learn about what we need to do on a daily basis to continue to push this shift.

“When we examine situations of human trafficking through the actions taken by potential traffickers, and the means by which they may have achieved those actions, we successfully shift our focus onto the offenders (where it belongs) and off of the victims. It then becomes to much easier to identify the involuntary nature of the commercial sex or labor in which the victim was being made to engage. We also remove blame and shame from the victims and place them directly on the traffickers themselves.While Collective Liberty is working to train the nation’s law enforcement, and help this shift in approach catch on across the country, there are tangible ways you can help shift the culture as well.”National Sexual Violence Resource Center: https://www.nsvrc.org/blogs/can-we-really-end-human-trafficking-its-time-focus-offenders?fbclid=IwAR2rys3Es1GYHYaviV-8ojGJskWICFBWi69ewiUQUC84YhHuet2Oy4j0vSk
