Lubbock has something called the "Human Rescue Coalition" which has been meeting and currently has been working with the Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking Task Force, overseen by the Lubbock Rape Crisis Center, dba as "The Voice of Hope," to bring this issue to the forefront in Lubbock. Today, there was a workshop regarding Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking, and a "Night of Awareness" about sex trafficking, pornography, prostitution, and the lack of resources for people who are trying to exit this lifestyle.
I attended both sessions. I did not need the CEUs offered at the workshop, but I accepted them. I mostly attended because this is a youth at risk issue, and I am trying to learn more about youth at risk, as a member of the board of directors at Catholic Charities. But, I can use the education credits towards the required 40 ACA credits that I need at work.
The Human Resource Coalition has a Facebook page. Which I will probably not access.
I was pleased to learn that they meet at the Catholic Diocese building, which lends its support to this issue. I am so pleased to see the Diocese of Lubbock involved in human rights issues.
