January is National Human Trafficking Awareness Month.  Terra Koslowski, Education & Engagement Director for Damascus Road Project answers frequently asked questions about human trafficking in the U.S such as: What are some indicators to look for? Does trafficking happen at the Super Bowl? Is it happening in our local area? How can parents educate and protect their children? What fuels the demand?  How can the public/church get help?

 Damasus Road Project, a faith-based, volunteer run 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to fighting the evil of human trafficking and sexual exploitation. They are committed to bringing awareness through educating, restoring and empowering the abused, and advocating for the prevention and abolition of human trafficking. Damascus Road is 100% specially trained volunteer operated.
