project blu
Project BLU is a blueprint model for a zero-tolerance community program to establish awareness, prevention, and recovery of those effected by the sex trade in the United States. The sexual exploitation of women and children in local communities is a dark reality. To end that reality, we must educate, strengthen and help the at-risk.
Our vision is prevention of sexual exploitation and trafficking. We do this through education, awareness campaigns, and social enterprise. We also work within the community to restore victims into confident, productive members of society. Project BLU engages youth, teachers, parents, and community leaders to identify the signs of sex trafficking and the necessary steps to to end it.
HOw PROJECT BLU WORKS:
Through Project BLU, we bring together a community’s existing anti-human trafficking efforts to build upon and create an infrastructure to help and sustain change.
First, we conduct a town hall meeting and take an assessment of the community’s needs and current available resources.
Next, we personalize programming by bringing together members of the surrounding community including parents, nonprofit organizations, government officials, faith groups, social justice workers and teachers to mobilize efforts for a united stance.
Finally, we support the community through prevention tools, educational seminars, and connection to local resources in the anti-human trafficking and rehabilitation system.
