HUMAN TRAFFICKING AWARENESS TEEN POSTER, WRITING & MUSIC CONTEST
Human Trafficking, known as modern day slavery, is making a person work or sell themselves by either physical or psychological force, or by fraud or trickery, or through threats of harm, and includes children selling or trading their bodies or labor. The FBI identified San Francisco as a hot spot for human trafficking in the United States.
Eligibility: The SFCAHT Anti-Trafficking Teen Poster, Writing and Music Contest is open to high and middle school students attending public, private, or home schools in San Francisco and the greater Bay Area.
