How do we increase victim identification to greater than 1%? We move beyond awareness and educate ourselves to spot, report, and prevent trafficking where we live, work, and play. Elevate your understanding of trafficking with OnWatch, a free online training written by survivors that shared how their stories intersected with members of their community who could have reported suspected trafficking had they known the signs to look out for.
