David Reid, founder of redM, discusses the alarming realities of human trafficking, the importance of education and awareness, and how individuals can contribute to the movement against trafficking.

Society will not change unless it understands the realities of human trafficking. Many people are either too scared to confront the issue, think it is irrelevant, or simply do not believe it exists. The traffickers are often intelligent individuals who have designed their operations to remain hidden from public view.

Alarming Statistics

Over 300,000 human trafficking victims in Texas alone.
Only 1% of these victims are rescued.
The average age of victims is around 13 years old, with many being runaways or homeless.
There are over 4,000 animal shelters in the U.S., but only 529 beds available for victims of human sex trafficking.

redM has established chapters in various cities to promote local engagement and awareness. David emphasizes that anyone can contribute to the movement, regardless of their background or expertise. Whether through volunteering, donating, or simply spreading the word, every action counts.

If you are interested in joining the fight against human trafficking, you can:
