There are so many options! We’ve put together lists of great unique baby names for boys and girls, as well as unisex names, to help you narrow the field. You know you want a name that’s different, unique, and original, but scouring baby name books and the Internet can be exhausting.
The National Survivor Network maintains a list of survivor-led organizations. Look for websites and materials created by organizations that are led by survivors of human trafficking now working in the anti trafficking field.A few suggestions for wading through the mass of material online include: To learn more about that, in addition to our site, there are numerous other organizations that have been working in the anti trafficking field for many years. The best tool we can offer is information about how human trafficking, including child sex trafficking, actually happens in the United States in the vast majority of situations. We can’t give you a definitive answer and we know that’s frustrating.
If we spread misinformation about a crime, we are also spreading misinformation among the very people whose support and activism are needed to end it. What QAnon is spreading is simply not true, and misleads people into believing that the solutions to child sex trafficking have to do with politics, or entirely with law enforcement, when the reality is far different. Those are the circumstances that allow sex trafficking to happen in most cases. As a result of this misinformation, people who need immediate assistance from helplines are forced to wait on hold and may miss their opportunity to get out of real trafficking situations or to report valuable information about trafficking that is actually happening.Īs for increasing awareness, while certainly there are people who are not aware of the details of how child sex trafficking operates, most people do understand that there are far too many children growing up in difficult circumstances, including homes that are unstable or where there is abuse or neglect. Spreading misinformation about human trafficking, which is what QAnon has done, does far more harm than good. Polaris and many other organizations that work to protect children and families are deeply concerned that the spread of intentional disinformation about how child sex trafficking happens in most situations is detracting from the very real, very important work of helping families to protect children and working to change the conditions in which trafficking thrives – poverty, abuse, addiction, hopelessness, discrimination, to name but a few. Research into the way such groups operate shows very clearly that the best way to spread fear and division online is to focus on issues and topics – such as child exploitation – that spark strong emotions and inspire people to act on those emotions – whether they are based on real, factual information or not. All evidence shows that QAnon is behind the #SaveTheChildren hashtag and various rallies, events and misinformation spread under that umbrella. QAnon and similar groups have an agenda that has little or nothing to do with reducing human trafficking and whose real aim is creating an atmosphere of fear and division. Polaris’s mission is to reduce and prevent sex and labor trafficking and help survivors regain their freedom.
