National Human Trafficking Awareness Day
February 22 is National Human Trafficking Awareness Day. The safety of students is our priority and we can reduce the risk of your child/youth becoming vulnerable to human trafficking by ensuring that they are educated about what it is, how and where it happens, how to recognize the signs that someone is being lured/groomed or trafficked, and by providing practical safety tips and information on how to get help.
In order to raise awareness and increase safety for our students, posters with information on human trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation (i.e. ‘sex trafficking’) will be posted in our school. Teachers and staff will have resources to answer student questions, and we have included information here that may help you as well, to continue the conversation at home.
