Soroptimists launched the STOP Trafficking awareness campaign on January 11 nationwide. SI Greenville launched locally with a meeting where materials on human trafficking were disseminated to the Greer Police Department's Victim Services Advocate, Tanya Anderson. SI Greenville and GPD Victim Services signed up as coalition partners with the U.S. Government's Health and Human Services, Rescue & Restore: A Human Trafficking Awareness Campaign, which is supported by the National Human Trafficking Resource Center (NHTRC) administered by the Polaris Project located in Washington DC. Funding for all posters, brochures, hotline stickers, presentation materials is provided by HHS and provided to coalition partners at no cost.
In a collaborative effort with the NHTRC, we are in the process of developing a resource contact database of all the healthcare organizations, law enforcement and social service organizations that provide victim and non-victim services to victims of abuse and those identified as victims of human trafficking in the Upstate of South Carolina 10 county area. Your help is needed.
If you are associated with one of these types of organizations or already have a database with this information, please contact our STOP Trafficking committee asap at soroptimist@gmail.com. If you would like to order HT hotline stickers with the 888-3737-888 number, posters or brochures in Spanish or English to display at your business send an email, ATTN: STOP Trafficking supplies request.
