● Acknowledge and address biases and misconceptions associated with treating survivors of human trafficking.

This Memorial Day, SOAR honors the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
Today, we remember their courage, service, and legacy. 🇺🇸✨

At SOAR, we've been working on raising awareness throughout Delaware on the importance of understanding and recognizing what human trafficking (HT) looks like. HT awareness goes hand in hand with awareness of domestic violence (DV) and s*xual violence (SV), two forms of abuse that we know can have long term effects on those who survive them.

When critical parts accompanying DV and SV are missed, we may be misidentifying what is really human trafficking.

Learn more about how these experiences coincide and how to start to recognize what human trafficking looks like 👇

A special thank you to Melissa Larrucea for volunteering to create this infographic!
