SUMMARY:Race for Prevention: Human Trafficking Awareness Virtual Race (Jan 1-31)
DESCRIPTION:The International Rescue Committee in Florida is hosting its 3rd Annual Race for Prevention! \nWhat is Human Trafficking? Human trafficking is a crime where individuals are exploited for forced labor\, services\, or commercial sex. It involves using force\, fraud\, or coercion to control victims\, either for sex or labor. Victims may be subjected to conditions like involuntary servitude\, debt bondage\, or slavery\, and it can affect both adults and minors. \nHow does the IRC in Florida help? Since 2003\, the IRC in Florida has provided comprehensive services to survivors of labor and sex trafficking in South Florida and Big Bend regions. A team of caseworkers provide high quality services to address the individualized needs provided to all trafficking survivors; collaborate with local partners\, including law enforcement\, to ensure a coordinated community response to survivors of human trafficking\, including through training and community awareness building; and assist with or refer human trafficking survivors to other essential services. To date\, we have served approximately 950+ survivors. \nWhat is the Race? The Race for Prevention is a virtual race where your physical activity contributes to raising awareness and support for the IRC in Florida’s mission to combat human trafficking. Track your miles or time through RunSignUp as you exercise in any way you prefer—walk\, run\, bike\, swim\, roll (skates\, wheelchair\, handcycle\, etc.)\, or more! Every step you take is a step toward prevention. Unlike traditional races\, a virtual race allows you to track your activity from anywhere\, at your own pace\, throughout the month. You’re not limited by location or time\, and you can move in a way that works for you. Plus\, as you log your miles\, you’ll see your progress in real-time! \nLEARN MORE
