"In 2023, a wave of lawsuits has been filed against hotels across the United States, accusing them of facilitating human trafficking. Over 40 hotels are facing legal repercussions for their alleged involvement in human trafficking. These lawsuits argue that the hotels either knew or should have known that trafficking was occurring on their premises and did nothing to stop it. The issue of hotels being sued for human trafficking in 2023 is a stark reminder of the dark underbelly of the hospitality industry. As we move forward, we must hold hotels accountable, push for legislative reforms, and raise public awareness. Only then can we hope to curb this alarming trend and safeguard the rights and dignity of the victims." https://www.hotelexecutive.com/feature_focus/7588/how-to-identify-confront-and-deter-human-trafficking-in-hotels

January marks the start of a fresh year, and it's also National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month, with National Human Trafficking Awareness Day taking place on January 11th. Keeping Every Girl Free joined forces to raise awareness about exploitation and human sex trafficking by conducting local motel and hotel outreach, and we distributed 15,000 makeup remover wipes throughout Southern California. We are happy to report that our outreach teams received positive feedback from the managers.

Our teams asked each manager if they had encountered any individuals in need, and each manager, except for one (who was new to the location), shared stories of face-to-face encounters. Every manager expressed gratitude for the hotline information and product sample and planned to place them at the front desk and inside the motel or hotel rooms. Doing so will make the hotline more accessible to an individual in need.

With our efforts, we hope that individuals know that help from caring people and organizations is always available.

The Survivor Mentality Foundation and Keeping Every Girl Free express our profound appreciation for your unwavering support. We wouldn't be where we are today without the encouragement and dedication of our community. We extend our hands and ask for your partnership in bringing 50k opportunities of hope.
