Anti-Human Trafficking

About Me


Every year approximately 700,000 to 4 million people are trafficked worldwide--it is estimated that 18-20,000 of whom are trafficked into or within the United States. While legislation has been put in place in the U.S., not enough is being done to find these victims and punish their traffickers. It is currently more lucrative to trafic humans than it is to trafic drugs.My goal in life is to curb this horrendous international crime. I am realistic and realize that it will never completely be gone--where there is a demand, supply will find a way, but that will not stop me from trying my best to work as hard as possible to fight human trafficking!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone and everyone who shares my beliefs and views or simply says "I think it is wrong to buy and sell human beings."
