January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month, and at YWCA, we take this month to center survivors, increase understanding, and strengthen pathways to safety and support.
Human trafficking is a serious form of exploitation that occurs in communities across Pennsylvania. It involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to control another person for labor or commercial s*x.
Trafficking doesn’t always look the way we expect, and it often goes unrecognized. This month, we’re sharing facts to raise awareness, challenge myths, and connect survivors with support.
If you or someone you know needs help, support is available. Contact YWCA at 1.888.727.2877.
