Human Trafficking Resource List
I would like to thank @Emily619 for bringing this topic into our forum. I would like to use this space to list resources for survivors, friends, and loved ones who have suffered at the hands of others.

"The Governor?s Ohio Human Trafficking Task Force was formed to marshal the resources of the State of Ohio to coordinate efforts to identify and rescue victims, create a coordinated law enforcement system to investigate and prosecute human trafficking crimes, and to provide the services and treatment necessary for victims to regain control of their lives.

@Emily619 @blitheSun94 Hey Blithe, I dont know if you had seen this, but we had a thread in the trauma forums on Human/Sex Trafficking
Its great to have these resources posted and its certainly a topic we wanted to introduce which is when we posted up the thread I have just posted for you. It is horrific the scale of human/sex trafficking and more is needed to be done in creating awareness and increasing the services available to helping those who need a lot of support when they get themselves out of that situation.
Would be good to compile resources for international listeners and members over time. I have a few I can add here too :)
