In public discourse, labor trafficking is something that is frequently overlooked or misunderstood in comparison to sexual trafficking and exploitation. As a consequence, increased vulnerabilities leave its survivors unprotected and with limited resources and support.

PREVENTION REPORT PUBLISHING ANNOUNCEMENT: Chapter 4, Zion's Story

Developed by Imagine Brave Spaces in 2023, Zion’s Story is a theater-based human trafficking prevention education program designed with lived-experience experts and local researchers to support the social and emotional well-being of San Diego youth in grades 7–12.
