What does vulnerability actually look like for young people?

For adults? The elderly?

PACT + #RedSandProject explored these questions through #art, conversations with #youth + #survivors, and a red sand activation in #NYC

Earlier this year, PACT + #RedSandProject used art + red sand to show how youth “fall through the cracks.”

We also brought #youth, #survivors, and #advocates together to talk about what #vulnerabilities really look like.

This morning, red sand was poured into cracks at the airport to raise human trafficking awareness.

The red sand represents those who have fallen through the cracks and serves as a reminder of why prevention matters.

This Human Trafficking Prevention Month, join PACT and Red Sand Project to fill in the cracks and prevent the sexual exploitation and trafficking of children before it starts.

#HumanTraffickingPrevention #PreventionStartsWithAwareness #RedSandProject

Prevention means noticing those vulnerabilities early and building strong, reliable support systems so that cracks in the safety net never have the chance to form.

#HumanTraffickingPrevention #PreventionStartsWithAwareness #RedSandProject

Traffickers don’t create vulnerability, they exploit what’s already there: neglect, instability, and a child’s need to be seen.

Prevention starts early, when adults notice what others miss and refuse to let kids slip through the cracks.
