January is “Human Trafficking Awareness” Month
Mover’s Choice is proud to support the “Truckers Against Trafficking” in their mission to build a mobile army of transportation professionals combatting human trafficking. As the eyes and ears of our nation’s roadways, members of our industry are extremely effective in discovering and disrupting human trafficking networks across North America.
Human trafficking is the exploitation of human beings through force, fraud or coercion for the purposes of commercial sex or forced labor. There are an estimated 40 million victims of human trafficking across the globe.
January is “Human Trafficking Awareness” month, so please join us in spreading awareness to ensure more victims are recovered and more traffickers are brought to justice. You can show your support by making a donation on the Mover’s Choice Fundraising page.
