According to Georgia Cares*, 90% of the victims they serve were attending school when first approached by a trafficker. So why didn’t the teachers or counselors report this? Why didn’t they embrace the child and protect them? The problem isn’t that educators don’t care, it’s that they aren’t equipped to identify the problem and act. Educators need to be educated. Sex Trafficking 101 is a training program specifically designed to provide the knowledge and tools needed by teachers, counselors, administrators, resource officers and IT staff. They learn: • What sex trafficking is and how it works. • Why victims may not ask for help. • How to recognize and interact with a potential victim. • What protocols to put in place to report suspicions and seek assistance for students.
