In recognition of January as Human Trafficking Awareness Month, our NCJW Human Trafficking committee had a busy January with members making in-person presentations at City Council meetings throughout Palm Beach County on the techniques traffickers use to recruit minors for sex or labor trafficking and explanations about the rapid growth of sextortion of teens and young adults.
