Why should I address human trafficking in my classroom? Students from every corner of the state and from every walk of life are vulnerable to trafficking. Social media allows recruiters and traffickers to gain unprecedented access to our young people, beguiling them with promises of love or opportunities only to exploit them for their own profit. Though students are the most vulnerable, they are also our greatest allies, the real powerhouses in the fight against trafficking. A generation of informed, empowered students can not only stay safe - they can change the world.
