Anna Ptak is an Overcomer of sex trafficking in America. She has now dedicated her life to educating and advocating for the end of trafficking worldwide, with a personal focus on the link between sex trafficking and pornography. Anna’s role in the movement has been greatly focused around policy, law and curriculum development for safe houses, and working with survivors of sex trafficking. She assists in drafting legislation and testifying in various Congressional bodies. Additionally, Anna has launched an ethical fashion collection sewn by Overcomers of sex trafficking in Nepal, that was presented during New York Fashion Week in 2015. Recently, Anna was interviewed on the talk show “The Doctors” and has conducted speaking tours in both New York and California. We are honored to have Anna contribute to our growing dialogue about what trafficking looks like in our world today. Thank you, Anna, for sharing a bit of your story with us and educating us on the realities of human trafficking. You can read the whole article on the Dressember blog.

If you care about people, read this👇🏼 •human trafficking affects 24.9 million victims worldwide at any given time •human trafficking is an umbrella term which refers to forced labor and sex trafficking •the 3P paradigm - prosecution, protection, and prevention - is still the prime framework used globally to combat human trafficking A third “P” is partnership, which complements this work and best describes the role that @aequitas_resource takes in shutting down the systems that support human trafficking and educating governments, offices, and communities on how to identify and effectively prosecute these cases. Every season is a season to be generous, but around the #holidays we think even more about family and the strength we have because we share our life with those we love. To feel safe, comfortable, and loved is something many of us so easily take for granted. #IStopTraffick with @aequitas_resource to be a part of the movement to shut down human trafficking and strengthen the systems that prevents its spread and prosecute perpetrators.

WINNING! Conference committee members voted to PASS House Bill 1902, establishing a victim-centered sex trafficking ban for Hawai’i! Currently, Hawai'i is the only state in the nation that does not outlaw sex trafficking in its criminal code. As the last state to ban sex trafficking, we’ve completed the anti-slavery map. Soon, we can say that, in America, sexual slavery is banned from sea to shining sea. ‪
