Several recent headlines have brought more light to the plight of trafficking victims in the US.  A recent story on Channel 9 News in Cincinnati highlighted the Trafficking in Persons Study showing that human trafficking is a major problem in Ohio.  You can read more there about how Ohioans are fighting in the Senate to get better laws in place for Ohio.  Another TV interview profiled on Change.org tells the story of a survivor from Oklahoma.

We’ve said it before but trafficking happens everywhere – including the US! That’s one reason why we’re excited about The Project at Ohio State.  A great group of students there want to use Stop Traffick Fashion to help raise awareness about trafficking on campus and also raise funds for Gracehaven House.  Gracehaven is an organization that provides restoration and rehabilitation to survivors of trafficking in Columbus, Ohio.  It’s one of only a few such organizations in the country!
