Human trafficking is an issue that impacts the most vulnerable in our society, in this case: the foster care system. According to the Child Welfare Information Gateway, approximately half a million youth in the United States experience foster care placement each year. The risk of trafficking increases when an individual runs away from a foster care placement, and youth who have experienced trafficking are grossly overrepresented by those in the child welfare system. The Dressember Network provides vital research and resources to the anti-trafficking movement and also supports prevention programs among vulnerable youth in the U.S. and beyond. By giving to Dressember, you help provide training and support to prevent children from becoming victims in the first place. You can contribute a tax-deductible gift before the end of the year at the link in our bio. Thank you for taking a stand with us to protect vulnerable youth. #Dressember #Dressember2022 #humantrafficking
