January is not only nationally recognized as Stalking Awareness Month, but also Human Trafficking Prevention Month - both are relevant to Cumbee Center's mission.
“Human trafficking, also known as trafficking in persons, is a crime that involves compelling or coercing a person to provide labor or services, or to engage in commercial s*x acts. The coercion can be subtle or overt, physical or psychological. Exploitation of a minor for commercial s*x is human trafficking, regardless of whether any form of force, fraud, or coercion was used.”
