Local advocacy group raises awareness for human trafficking with upcoming event
SUMMARY: Susie Harville of Advocates for Freedom is working to raise awareness about human trafficking, a crime affecting 42 million victims worldwide. The organization’s upcoming fundraiser, the Wild West Winging event, aims to highlight this issue. The Gulf Coast’s location along the I-10 Corridor makes it a hotspot for trafficking, with predators targeting vulnerable individuals. Carrie Helel, an advocate with firsthand experience, emphasizes the importance of recognizing signs of trafficking, including psychological manipulation and the exploitation of both youth and the elderly. The event, set for Saturday, will raise funds and educate the public on the growing issue of human trafficking.
The ‘Wild West Wingding’ should be a fun time, but the reason for the event is hardly a laughing matter.
