Human Trafficking Awareness and Education
 

​The Knights Templar Grand Priory of America (KTGPA) is a nonprofit 501(c)3 dedicated to bringing about change in this world of trafficking.  (https://www.ktgpa.org/)
 

Human Trafficking is an insidious and evil exploitation of adults and children across America for sex, organ harvesting and forced labor (slavery). It creates intense suffering and misery among those being exploited.
 

Approaches Used by Traffickers
​

Traffickers often operate under the guise of legitimate businesses or relationships, making it challenging to recognize their true intentions. They adapt their tactics to exploit modern technology and social media, targeting individuals through online platforms and personal networks.
 

Communities may not always be aware of the signs or the presence of trafficking within their midst, which makes public education and awareness crucial. By staying informed through awareness and education, people can remain vigilant and better recognize subtle warning signs and support efforts to prevent trafficking before it occurs. 

​

​        The most compelling and decisive action that we all can take is this:

​

If you See Something, Say Something!
