Human Trafficking – In Plain Sight

Garden Gate Ranch is a restoration home for female survivors of sex trafficking who are pregnant or have small children under age 5. Those served by
GGR receive love, support, and tools they may not have received previously.
GGR helps the women take ownership of their own success as they help define what success means for them. A big question people often have is, “What
circumstances lead a women to end up in trafficking?” This presentation will
provide general context around how trafficking happens, and how it continues, in plain sight.
