A survivor shares her story. Her name is Sharee…
There is a $60 million estimated profit from the commercial sex business every year in Denver. A video features Sharee who is a trafficking survivor. She was rescued in 2012 from a hotel on Colfax Avenue in Denver when she was only 16 years old. She tells her audience: “There are children walking down the street right now praying that either an officer or a john stops them. A john means they’re one step closer to being done for the night; a police officer means they’re safe.”
Sharee emphasizes the importance of everyone recognizing the signs of human trafficking. Just one phone call to authorities can save a teenager. Know the hotline number. Keep your eyes open.
