Blue Spotlight Challenge - January 26, 2018


Blue Spotlight Challenge

 

 

Raising awareness surrounding the Human Trafficking Epidemic in Ohio

  • Ohio is the 4th Largest State for Human Trafficking in the county
  • 12 to 14 is the average age of a victim
  • Deception is the primary method used by traffickers. When targeting youth, traffickers often study a potential victim, identify an unmet need or desire in that youth’s life, and target it specifically.
  • There are many roadblocks to victim identification. The majority of Human Trafficking victims do not self-identify as such. Many will actively deny that they are victims. Many signs are misunderstood, unnoticed, or unrecognized.

 

 

What is the Blue Spotlight challenge?

January is National Human Trafficking month. Help us shine a spotlight on the human trafficking epidemic in Cleveland. On January 26, 2018 The Salvation Army and Hue Jackson Foundation are partnering to raise awareness surrounding this very important cause.

 

 

How to participate:

  • Allow employees to dress down in blue on Friday, January 26, 2018 in exchange for a $4 donation to support life-saving human trafficking programs given at The Salvation Army Harbor Light Complex, downtown Cleveland.
  • Take a photo of employee's in blue and post on your social media pages using the #CLEBlueSpotlight
