January is/was Human Trafficking Awareness Month. This is something I am very passionate about. There are two organizations that I have found so far that I am supporting.
Polaris Project
I've donated money to Polaris. This is a difficult battle, and they are seriously in the fight.
About Polaris Project
Polaris Project is one of the leading organizations in the global fight against human trafficking and modern-day slavery. Named after the North Star "Polaris" that guided slaves to freedom along the Underground Railroad, Polaris Project is transforming the way that individuals and communities respond to human trafficking, in the U.S. and globally.
By successfully pushing for stronger federal and state laws, operating the National Human Trafficking Resource Center hotline (1-888-373-7888), conducting trainings, and providing vital services to victims of trafficking, Polaris Project creates long-term solutions that move our society closer to a world without slavery.
International Princess Project
I've donated money to this project, and purchased their really cute punjammies. Like Heifer International, this project is all about empowerment. Very cool.
