HUMAN TRAFFICKING
HUMAN TRAFFICKING
Shelbi Ball is the Grants and Partnerships Specialist for AncoraTN, formerly known as End Slavery Tennessee. She will be our speaker for Campaign for Children, which will be held at the Riverside United Methodist Church, 313 6TH Ave. in Columbia on
Sunday, April 23 at 3 pm. End Slavery Tennessee was founded and named to sound the alarm that human trafficking exists and is happening in our very own backyard. In the past decade, they’ve grown from raising awareness to providing survivors a place of healing and restoration. |
Although anyone can be impacted by human trafficking, people of color, immigrants, and people who identify as LGBTQIA+ are disproportionally exploited. People affected by economic disparity, mental illness, housing insecurity, systemic oppression, along with runaway youth and children in foster care, often fall victim to human trafficking.
AncoraTN manages all human trafficking referrals in the Middle Tennessee region as a member of the Tennessee Counter-Trafficking Alliance (TCTA), formerly known as Tennessee Anti-Slavery Alliance. |
TCTA ensures quality consistent human trafficking focused services will be provided statewide in the most effective and efficient way possible. TCTA advocates for systemic change and provides comprehensive trauma-informed aftercare to survivors of human trafficking anywhere in Tennessee.
Shelbi Ball will share information; along with ways we can support and be involved with AncoraTN. Provided by
