To hear that in the United States, 1 in 7 young people will run away between the ages of 10-18. To then hear that 75% are female is shocking. Let's educate people about Human Trafficking and the effects it can lead to if continued. @APathAppears @weller_world #ucendsslavery

Watching Path Appears was eye-opening. To hear that Shana Goodwin from Tennessee was arrested over 160 times, but her pimps were never arrested. That blows my mind. Let's treat people with respect versus taking advantage of people. @APathAppears @weller_world #ucendsslavery

Trafficking is a form of power and control in which is a never-ending cycle of abuse of any kind. The abuse creates fear in people who may not have enough power. Let's make a change for people being human trafficked. @Ohio_OCJS @weller_world #ucendsslavery

To hear that $9 million in funding is dedicated to addressing human trafficking response efforts in Ohio's operating budget in which helps provide direct funding for organizations providing services to survivors across the state for all. @Ohio_OCJS @weller_world #ucendsslavery

The second thing I found interesting was that social media is a form of scam that people use to lure people into doing something that they want the person to do. @LastWeekTonight @iamjohnoliver @weller_world #ucendsslavery

The first thing I found interesting was that it is a pig butchering scam, and it's called that because the amount of money victims are losing is painful. @LastWeekTonight @iamjohnoliver @weller_world #ucendsslavery

Something I found interesting was that in 1989 to 2016 that there were 1,114 conflict years. To then to hear that of the conflict that 90% of enslavement occurred during these conflict years. That is crazy to me. Let's work together. @rightsbeacon @weller_world #ucendsslavery

Something I found disturbing after hearing the conversation with Kevin Bales that children were eaten by Tigers because they'd been enslaved to clean fish for criminals right in a Unesco World Heritage site. Protect young children. @rightsbeacon @weller_world #ucendsslavery

Seeing the number in which there are over 300,000 victims of sex trafficking in the US is crazy to me. Let's make a change so that sex trafficking doesn't continue. @LastWeekTonight @iamjohnoliver @weller_world #ucendsslavery

It is interesting that from 2016 to 2020, almost everyone arrested by the NYPD for buying or selling sex was non-white. This shows that people of color or of a different race are getting looked down upon. @LastWeekTonight @iamjohnoliver @weller_world #ucendsslavery

I learned Ten Thousand Villages began in 1946 by the founder, Edna Ruth Byler. Her goal in starting this was to help other women be able to support their families as well as it provides an opportunity to invest in their communities. @Villages @weller_world #ucendsslavery

I learned through watching the video about Ten Thousand Villages that they help make an impact on the lives of 20,000 artisans in 30 developing countries. @Villages @weller_world #ucendsslavery

98% of children who are sex trafficking survivors had previous involvement with child welfare services. Hearing this is shocking. Let's protect children who are in foster care from being a target of being human trafficked. @weller_world @collabtoendht #ucendsslavery

14 years ago, which would be 2011, is when Ohio, as a state, officially made human trafficking illegal. Knowing that human trafficking is still going on I find it important to encourage other states and countries to do the same. @weller_world @collabtoendht #ucendsslavery

"Like A Girl" commercial portrays and assumes what girls can or can't do, which diminishes girls and women for who they are and It decreases their self confidence. In reality, women and girls can do anything they put their mind to. @ProcterGamble @weller_world #ucendsslavery

Reading that there are 27 million people in compelled service by people who are taking part in human trafficking to benefit them financially is crazy. I want to make a change. @FreedomCenter @weller_world #ucendsslavery

It is interesting to read that at the very beginning of Journey to Freedom movie, you hear that until 1865 slavery was legal in the United States. @FreedomCenter @weller_world #ucendsslavery

The NCA presentation, I found it interesting that they offer 26 nationally competitive awards in which students can apply and get involved in, which will help any student gain more financial support as they decide what is next. @UC_NCA @weller_world #ucendsslavery

Something that caught my eye was that through study abroad, you are able to build connections with others in which can help to benefit your future career. @UC_Global @weller_world #ucendsslavery

Study Abroad presentation was very informative. I learned that you can study your major from a different perspective than you otherwise wouldn't get. @UC_Global @weller_world #ucendsslavery
