When the Stowe Center hosts a program around modern day slavery and human trafficking, we often hear "What can I do to solve this problem?" or "This problem is much larger than I thought, I certainly cannot do anything to change it" from participants.The truth, however, is that we all have the power to make change no matter how large or small. The Huffington Post released "10 Things You Didn't Know About Slavery, Human Trafficking (And What You Can Do About It)" last week in honor of National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month. The article not only outlines facts about modern day slavery but ways you can take action.
One particular resource on their "10 Things" list is the 2013 State Report Cards - Protected Innocence Challenge from the organization Shared Hope. The report cards provide grades and analyses for each state based on their efforts to end human trafficking. Connecticut received an exceptionally low score of 62 and final grade of D. Read the Connecticut Report Card 2013 to learn about prevention efforts and results in Connecticut and recommendations for improving action in our state. Not from Connecticut?
