Being a survivor of human trafficking I can say that LGBTQ+ organizations are the least likely to be engaged and have conversations about how our community is disproportionately impacted. I wonder why?

#LGBTQIA+ individuals are particularly at risk of #ModernSlavery due to their marginalisation and the tragic reality of being forced from home by unaccepting family. @unitedwayworldwide.bsky.social reports that LGBTQIA+ youth are 13× more at-risk for homelessness, adding to the risk of #trafficking.
@htlegalcenter.bsky.social Board member Jose Alfaro has spoken out courageously to condemn the State Department's removal of information about the trafficking of LGBTQ victims from the annual Trafficking in Persons Report. www.wgbh.org/news/news-pr...

The U.S. State Department 2025 #TIPReport will remove information about LGBTQ #trafficking victims, despite the community’s higher risk for exploitation. This harms all survivors. We applaud our Board member Jose Alfaro for speaking out against this policy. www.wgbh.org/news/news-pr...
