Help End Labor Trafficking Campaign. Labor trafficking is all around us but often goes under-recognized and has been reported in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Healthcare professionals have an important role in ending labor trafficking by recognizing signs and symptoms of exploitation and providing support for these patients. Please donate at https://bit.ly/3q1cCtG to help AMWA-PATH educate physicians and other healthcare professionals about labor trafficking.
PATH will be launching a special campaign for April--Sexual Assault Awareness month. More to follow in our next newsletter!
