A nationwide effort to bring awareness
To Human Trafficking

Cinnaminson and Riverside.
Supplies will be provided
We will distribute a packet of red sand to be poured into the cracks of the sidewalk
To symbolize those who have
“fallen through the cracks” of society
The “Red Sand Project” actions have been done in all 50 states and in 70 countries, with more than one million participants.
The International Labour Organization
estimates that 40.3 million individuals are victims of Human Trafficking live in modern-day slavery, whether in forced marriages, forced labor,
or for sexual exploitation.
81% of them are trapped in forced labor
25% of them are CHILDREN
75% are WOMEN and GIRLS
The term Human Trafficking doesn’t necessarily mean the movement of people it refers to the selling, buying, and/or trading of a person. This can be either for money, for servitude, or to coerce one to perform acts for another for profit.
It is the exploitation of people who are recruited, harbored, offered or detained for a fee or services.
Be aware of the warning signs.
