The Know to Say No campaign is a community-driven effort to prevent human trafficking in Los Angeles County. Through education, awareness, and advocacy, we aim to empower parents, teachers, youth, and the community at large to recognize the signs and risks of human trafficking and take action to prevent it.
If you suspect or know that a child is a victim of Human Trafficking, please contact the LA County Child Protection Hotline at (800) 540-4000 or 911
We believe that education, awareness, and community involvement are key to ending this terrible crime, and we’re committed to providing you with the information and resources you need to make a difference. In this section, we’ve compiled a list of ten things parents, teachers, and the community can do to help prevent child trafficking, as well as a list of ways to work with children and youth to empower them to recognize and respond to potential dangers. From education and advocacy to direct involvement and support, there are many ways you can join the fight against human trafficking in our community.
As our kids mention in their letters, this is OUR community, and it is our responsibility to get involved, and help protect our youth from human trafficking. This is an issue that is happening in every community, often right in front of us. Being aware, educated and taking action can make the difference in the life of a youth.
