🚨 Awareness Wednesday Alert Here's a shocking reality check: Did you know that children account for half of the victims of human trafficking? (Office of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia) It's a harrowing truth we can't afford to ignore. What's even more devastating is that the average age a young person gets trapped in this nightmare is just 12 years old. 💔 Let that sink in. Our children should be playing, learning, and dreaming—not falling prey to exploitation and abuse. This Awareness Wednesday, let's raise our voices, spread awareness, and take action to protect our most vulnerable. Together, we can make a difference and ensure every child has a future free from the horrors of trafficking. #EndHumanTrafficking #ProtectOurChildren #RaiseAwareness #BreakTheChains #JusticeForAll #FightForFreedom #HarbourHope #HarbourHopeInternational #AwarenessWednesday🌟
