If you're feeling overwhelmed and powerless about the prevalence of human trafficking, thinking it's a problem that happens elsewhere, then you are not alone! Despite thinking you're not contributing to the problem, the reality is that inaction allows it to persist right under your nose. It's time to take personal responsibility and make a change.

"The worst mistake that we could make is saying I'm not doing that really bad things. That means I'm not part of the problem, right? I'm going to say no, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying we're all part of the problem."  - Alan Smyth
