"Let's roll up our sleeves and take direct action!":

Ideas for Directly Addressing the Needs of Victims

• Provide financial support of organizations that provide safe housing, legal advocacy, translation services, psychological services, medical services, etc. for men, women and children who are rescued from slavery or trafficking. Consider: http://www.ecpatusa.org/, http://www.polarisproject.org/ http://www.freetheslaves.net/, http://www.catwinternational.org/ or others.
• Report suspicious behaviors. Check out the "Look Beneath the Surface" campaign information and use the toll-free phone number.1-888-3737-888
• Volunteer in a program offering English as a Second Language, literacy, job training, or food/shelter services to victims of trafficking and slavery.
• Support, as a volunteer or donor, projects that target teens who are at risk of being caught up in prostitution and trafficking.
