These tools are also for youth to support and inform one another.

All of this information focuses on how prevent human trafficking and to keep caregivers and youth stronger, smarter, and more resilient.

Social justice and human trafficking are intrinsically interconnected.

Social justice aims for the systematic fair treatment of all people. STAC believes that everyone deserves equitable social and economic rights, opportunities, and treatment. Traffickers target vulnerable victims with promises of an escape from harsh realities of their current conditions. In almost every instance, human trafficking victims are victims of institutional oppression and systematic racism, classism, sexism, ageism, ableism, and heterosexism before they are targeted by a trafficker. Human trafficking cannot be understood as an individual harm perpetrated by criminals; but instead must be understood within the structural conditions of society that facilitate exploitation.

A social justice perspective is crucial for our work to support survivors of human trafficking and to prevent people of being trafficked.
