Human Trafficking Awareness
Human Trafficking Awareness
Did you know that our profession has a central presence in the Human Trafficking industry? This January, we are providing salons with the educational tools they need to learn about a multi-billion dollar industry that is occurring in the United States every single day. We have partnered with the non-profit, Polaris Project, which is the organization behind the National Human Trafficking Hotline and a long-time advocate and hairstylist, Haley Garber, to provide you with resources and how to help.
“As hairdressers, we have the unique opportunity to put an end to modern-day slavery,” says Haley.
