Be Part Of The Solution

Dear Business Owner,  

Your business has an Opportunity To Get Involved. The business community is a missing link.  I created the campaign to educate, collaborate and eradicate Human Trafficking in North San Diego County. This may sound impossible. Yet, it will take EVERY BUSINESS to stand up and educate our community.

Our county District Attorney, Summer Stephan continues to do her part. Learn the facts at  htps://www.sdcda.org/preventing/human-trafficking/human-trafficking-faqs#what_is_it 

What is Human Trafficking?

Human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery where perpetrators profit from the sexual exploitation and/or forced labor of men, women and children. It is a violation of basic human rights, and it is also a crime as defined by U.S. federal law and California state law. 

Sex trafficking is the exploitation of a person by means including coercion or deceit to engage in commercial sexual activity, prostitution, exotic dancing, or pornography. (When the victim is a minor under the age of 18 years old, sex trafficking does not require force or coercion. Minors cannot legally consent to sexual activity) 

Labor trafficking is the exploitation of a person by means including coercion or deceit for labor services. Labor trafficking victims are often forced into domestic servitude, construction, restaurant, agricultural, massage parlors, or sweatshop factory work with little or no pay. 

You Can Stop Human Trafficking Campaign

One day when I ordered food from In-N-Out Burger about 2 years ago. I read the hotline phone numbers on their bag about Human Trafficking, I thought if In-N-Out Burger can do it, why can't I?

Why Can't Businesses?

I created “You Can Stop Human Trafficking Campaign” to educate, collaborate and eradicate Human Trafficking in North San Diego County. It is simple, free and can start a national movement to Stop Human Trafficking.  

The campaign has 2 points: 

•  WHY- Did I Create You Can Stop Human Trafficking Campaign?  - To create a national movement where our humanitarian efforts become contagious. Our girls have waited long enough. They are waiting for someone to Rescue Them!!!  

• HOW - through a New Community Resource Page added to your business website. The Resource Page will provide Hotline phone numbers to Exit Human Trafficking/Abuse/Drugs. 

My goal is to have Chambers, businesses, non-profits, and agencies join the movement.

Estimado propietario de negocio,

Su negocio tiene una oportunidad para involucrarse. La comunidad empresarial es un eslabón perdido. Creé Y.C.S.H.T.C. para educar, colaborar y erradicar la trata de personas en el condado norte de San Diego. Esto puede sonar imposible. Sin embargo, se necesitará que CADA NEGOCIO se levante y eduque a nuestra comunidad.

Nuestra fiscal del condado, Summer Stephan, continúa haciendo su parte. Conozca los hechos en htps://www.sdcda.org/preventing/human-trafficking/human-trafficking-faqs#what_is_it

¿Qué es la trata de personas?
La trata de personas es una forma de esclavitud moderna donde los perpetradores se benefician de la explotación sexual y/o el trabajo forzado de hombres, mujeres y niños. Es una violación de los derechos humanos básicos y también es un crimen según la ley federal de EE. UU. y la ley estatal de California.

Trata sexual es la explotación de una persona mediante coacción o engaño para participar en actividad sexual comercial, prostitución, danza exótica o pornografía. (Cuando la víctima es menor de 18 años, la trata sexual no requiere fuerza o coacción. Los menores no pueden consentir legalmente a la actividad sexual).

Trata laboral es la explotación de una persona mediante coacción o engaño para servicios laborales. Las víctimas de trata laboral a menudo se ven obligadas a trabajar en servidumbre doméstica, construcción, restaurantes, agricultura, salones de masajes o fábricas tipo "sweatshop" con poco o nulo pago.
