Human trafficking is a worldwide issue and Mississippi is doing its part to put an end to this terrible crime. Sally Doty, the Republican Senator of District 39 in Mississippi, is one of many lawmakers in the state fighting to put an end to this atrocious act. Ever since she was elected into office, Sally Doty has taken a stand against human trafficking and other forms of interpersonal violence. Mississippi is one of the many coastal locations that struggles with human trafficking, which makes it difficult to detect and stop these criminals. There are several ways you can help put an end to human trafficking.
The first step in preventing human trafficking is education. It is important for people worldwide to know the statistics of human trafficking. No matter what city or country you live in, you should make sure to educate yourself on human trafficking in your area. You should learn about which areas are more susceptible to human trafficking and what warning signs you should look for so you can call the appropriate authorities. It is also essential to teach children not to go anywhere with strangers, or share personal information such as phone numbers and home addresses.
The second step in preventing human trafficking is awareness. If you live near an international airport or port, of if you are in an area that thrives on tourism, you should be aware of the warning signs of human trafficking. When you are out in public be aware of your surroundings and the people you see. If you ever see anything suspicious, you should immediately call local law enforcement.
