Feb. 4: Human Trafficking
Human trafficking is a form of abuse that involves exploiting a person for labor, services, or commercial sex. This program will raise awareness about where and how human trafficking happens in North Carolina and Forsyth County, and will empower individuals and the Knollwood community as a whole to take action to prevent and respond to it.
Iris Cole and Rachel Parker will define what trafficking is (and what it isn’t) and explore how vulnerabilities in our community — such as housing insecurity, foster care involvement, domestic violence, immigration status, economic instability, and online exploitation — can increase risk. They will also focus on practical next steps: understanding services and advocacy, recognizing safe ways to identify and respond, and practicing how to connect someone to resources without a savior mentality.
Please join us for a fellowship meal from 5:15 to 6 PM.
From 6 to 7 PM on most Wednesdays, following announcements and prayer, we engage various topics of faith with speakers, panels, and group discussion. Please see our youth and children’s ministry pages for information about concurrent programming for these ages.
