New Man to Man Campaign to Fight Human Trafficking Demand

" width="190" height="480">The new Man to Man anti-human trafficking campaign, spearheaded by the American Trucking Associations and Truckers Against Trafficking, aims to address the demand for sexual services that drives human trafficking.
Truckers Against Trafficking has long fought to raise awareness about the problem and train industry professionals to identify and report instances of trafficking. In a Feb. 21 press conference on Capitol Hill, TAT joined Demand Abolition, Businesses Ending Slavery and Trafficking, ATA's America's Road Team, UPS, and Walmart, to launch the Man to Man Campaign.
The Man to Man Campaign is founded on the belief that if there were no demand for commercial sex, then sex trafficking would not exist.
“At the very root of the sex trafficking and sexual exploitation epidemic sweeping our nation and world is the demand,” said Truckers Against Trafficking Deputy Director Kylla Lanier. “The prostituted person, and more recently, the traffickers have been the focus of attention and arrests, while the buyer goes home with a warning. This must change. … When all is said and done, if there is no buyer, there would be no victim.”
The goal of the Man to Man campaign is to highlight drivers who advocate strongly against and keep an eye out for trafficking, featuring them on on websites, social media pages, and on banners at speaking engagements throughout the country. The banners will also flank TAT's Freedom Drivers Project, a touring tractor-trailer exhibition about human trafficking that stops at trucking's major events.
