January is National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month

From the Office of the Administration for Children & Families:

“The theme for Human Trafficking Prevention Month 2025 highlights the importance of a holistic approach to preventing human trafficking, recognizing its intersection with other forms of violence and social issues.  

Connecting the dots between human trafficking, online harassment and abuse, interpersonal violence, and other forms of violence can disrupt multiple forms of exploitation.”

Aveon Air is committed to exposing and eradicating all forms of harm, especially the heinous crime of human trafficking. If you think your community is the exception, think again. You may even regularly visit a business that acts as a front for trafficking - your favorite bar, spa, or hotel could be perpetuating the enslavement and abuse of extremely vulnerable and unprotected persons. Educate yourself about how prevalent and pervasive this is in our commonwealth and across the world. Learn how you can work to hold perpetrators accountable without compounding victimization. And if your abuser is pushing you to grab a drink or get a massage at a certain business and won’t drop the issue, do your homework. The last thing you want is to add legitimacy to a front for trafficking with your presence or your glowing review. Coercive control loves to “pull one over” on their victims, and can’t help but drop clues about how clever or sneaky they are…but those clues are evidence, and the key to the freedom for another.

Fragile egos leave a trail, and at the end you’ll find the truth. No treasure, no pot of gold…just another festering pocket of infection from the disease of violence.

May 2025 be the year that we see them all lanced.
