Saturday Suggestion. Please Read Our Warriors Statement:
This Human Trafficking Prevention Month feels very different and that matters. 2025 was a disruptive year for the anti-trafficking movement and there is no returning to old frameworks that no longer reflect reality. The world has changed. How trafficking happens has changed. Who is targeted has changed. Pretending otherwise does real harm. Too much of the conversation still leans on familiar language that sounds good but delivers little. Awareness alone is not enough. Prevention without accountability is empty.
January demands more honesty, more humility and more courage to admit what is no longer working if we are serious about building a future survivors actually deserve. There are reasons for resolve. Proven models are emerging and the real question now is how to scale what works. States have shown they can lead with data, funding and coordinated responses. Bipartisan support remains strong which is rare and valuable. We have moved past hype and toward evidence with survivor leaders and effective organizations rising above the noise. Technology and data are finally being used as tools for protection instead of exploitation. Lynn’s Warriors believes this moment calls for clarity not comfort. The work ahead is harder but it is also more focused. And that is how real change begins.
