A key part of our mission is to enlighten the public about sex trafficking in America. We use every opportunity to spread awareness about the dangers of trafficking and ways to stay safe. Through our Reality Check and Play It Safe programs, we share this message at events in the community.

REALITY CHECK

Although people are becoming more aware of the issue of sex trafficking in our country, there are still so many that have no idea of its magnitude and impact. Rescuing Hope provides a much-needed Reality Check to bring the issue front and center, address the myths, and reveal the real dangers to audiences across all walks of life. We partner with schools, houses of worship and community groups to arm students, parents and the general public with the information they need to protect themselves and those around them from falling victim to a trafficker.

What they learn:
  • What sex trafficking is and how it works.
  • Who traffickers target, where and how.
  • The dangers that social media and technology can pose and ways to address them.
  • Ways to protect yourself and your family from falling victim.
  • How to recognize the indicators of a sex trafficking victim or someone that is at risk of being trafficked.
  • What to do if they suspect someone is being trafficked.
  • How you can help in the fight against sex trafficking.

I was very impressed with the work Rescuing Hope is doing and the awareness that they are bringing to the community on the subject of Human Trafficking. Pretty frightening to see how these young people are being taken advantage of.
