The G.L.I.T.T.E.R. Project
The Grassroots Learning Initiative on Teen Trafficking Exploitation and Rape aims to highlight the complex factors that make youth vulnerable to exploitation in an effort to promote effective strategies that prevent commercial sexual exploitation of youth.
Community Awareness and Support Network
The G.L.I.T.T.E.R. Project hopes to develop a community of widespread support for young people to aid in empowerment and prevention by combatting shame, stigma, and misunderstanding of the facts surrounding youth affected by domestic minor sex trafficking. The campaign further aims to increase understanding of domestic minor sex trafficking among youth in effort to increase self-identification of victims, inform youth of available resources, and combat the shame, stigma, and altered worldview often experienced by most victims.
G.L.I.T.T.E.R. Curricullum
Our main focus will be on the development of a curriculum for youth, by youth, that will have a heavy emphasis on youth empowerment and provide them with a more in depth understanding of what exploitation is and the many ways that they may encounter it.
January 29th as Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking Awareness Day
Our secondary focus is advocating for specific recognition of exploited youth by designating January 29th as Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking Awareness Day. Currently, the U.S. recognizes January as Human Trafficking Month and January 11th as Human Trafficking Awareness Day. Human trafficking is an umbrella term that broadly covers a variety of trafficking methods, including forced labor, organ trading, and sex trafficking of all ages. Designating a day specifically for Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking is in effort to devote more attention and awareness to the unique and complex factors that contribute to youth vulnerability.
Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking Awareness Ribbon
In addition to promoting January 29th as Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking Awareness Day, we are promoting the Silver Glitter Awareness Ribbon as the official symbol for child sex trafficking awareness. Currently, the only awareness ribbon that exists is the blue ribbon for human trafficking. The Silver Glitter Awareness Ribbon will specifically be for Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking in effort to devote more attention and awareness to the unique and complex factors that contribute to youth vulnerability.
