Background:

There are all sorts of ways we can get involved in the movement - you’re doing it by partaking in this challenge right now! If you’re wanting to get involved further, we always recommend supporting and volunteering with survivor-led and survivor-centered organizations.

Action: What to look for and look OUT for!

• When looking to human trafficking organizations to support and volunteer for, beware of the red flags they might have to show how they’re really supporting survivors, or furthering harmful narratives.

  • Things to look for:

    • Diversity and Inclusion on website/marketing

    • Credible Statistics

    • Clear messaging about where donations go towards/their services

    • Empowering messaging about survivors

  • Things to look OUT for:

    • Phrasings like ‘saving’ or ‘rescue’

    • Using one demographic in imaging

    • Outlandish statistics and sensationalized messaging
