  1. So one of those solutions to any human trafficking is
  2. to make it known.
  3. Um this is a task that is only possible by
  4. decreasing the demand, raising awareness and education and so how
  5. can we do that?
  6. Um or how is that being done?
  7. So here are some current relief efforts.
  8. There are safe houses like those Um similar to Rafa
  9. House, there are victim advocacy centers and there's actually a
  10. center here in Greeley called the Avery Center, which is
  11. just that um legislation I say kind of here because
  12. though there have been governmental efforts made to remedy the
  13. issue, such as the trafficking victims protection act released in
  14. 2000. Um it has since then been reauthorized in 2010
  15. as the US.
  16. had not recognized this as a domestic issue until then.
  17. Um so 10 years of ignorance and our government is
  18. something that is inexcusable and yet still the issue is
  19. frequently placed on the back burner for local and national
  20. municipalities further proving the importance of awareness and public knowledge
  21. of the issue.
  22. Um, and then finally education efforts.
  23. So here is our call to action.
  24. Um, it starts with us culture, media, consumerism and capitalism
  25. are all contributing factors to the viability of human trafficking.
  26. So how can we help as everyday people, we can
  27. learn, teach and support in supporting, we believe survivors donate
  28. to organizations that help survivors and victims be involved in
  29. politics, that we were aware of those laws that are
  30. being passed and we can vote on them and be
  31. active in it and then supporting change.
  32. Okay. Um, in learning, we need to educate ourselves and
  33. know what's going around going on around us every day
  34. and how we can be a part of change.
  35. And finally, in teaching, we can educate our peers, friends
  36. and family.
  37. Um, we need to be calling out negative behavior that
  38. perpetuates inequality, speaking out about human trafficking.
  39. Um, the more people hear about that, the more people
  40. are likely to care about the issue.
  41. So again, this is my presentation on human trafficking.
  42. I appreciate you are listening in.
  43. Um, yeah, thanks.
