HUMAN TRAFFICKING PUBLIC AWARENESS CAMPAIGN
The goal of the Family Justice Center human trafficking campaign is to inform the public about the the harm being caused to youth and adults in our community who are being sold for sex every day. The sex trade is an industry that has no place in our City or in the many cities throughout the Commonwealth where internet-based solicitation, street prostitution, escort services, massage parlors, strip clubs, brothels in apartments, and local hotel rooms are fronts for profit from sex crimes. The campaign aims to raise awareness that people are being hurt, to remove the cloak of invisibility of the sex trade and to seek support in developing protections and services for victims of sexual exploitation.
