January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month and Stalking Awareness Month.
Both issues are constantly being combated by local law enforcement, the courts, and local non-profits like Hope’s Voice of Daviess and Knox County.
The issues are ones that continue to be brought up more, especially within the last few years.
Daviess County Hope’s Voice Coordinator, Megan Smith, noted that the pandemic has played a big role in social media cases…
In addition to Human Trafficking, Stalking has become another big issue.
Hope’s Voice Outreach Coordinator Cathy Bush noted that technology is also attributing to more stalking cases…
Hope’s Voice has a 24-hour hotline for those who may need help.
The number is (812)-899-4673.
To hear the full interview with Hope’s Voice, tune into Focus on the Community tomorrow morning at 8:30 am on Memoires 107.9 FM.
