January is National Human Trafficking Awareness & Prevention Month

Why Does Human Trafficking Awareness Matter for Native Communities?

• Indigenous people face a disproportionate risk of human trafficking due to systemic factors such as poverty, housing instability, jurisdictional gaps, and historical trauma

• Trafficking can affect women, men, youth, and elders, and it does not always look the way people expect

• Awareness helps protect our families, our youth, and our future generations

This month, we stand together to protect our relatives and share resources that can save lives.
