A panel on Wednesday discussed what human trafficking is, how to recognize it and how the organization helps those who have survived human trafficking.
BUFFALO, NY – A local organization held a panel to recognize National Human Trafficking Awareness Day.
Project Mona’s House launched their new Amplify series.
The series educates and raises awareness of human trafficking. The panel discussed what human trafficking is, how to recognize it and how the organization helps those who have survived human trafficking.
“Over the years we have housed women who have been victims of human trafficking. We learned that people really want a place with community. When they feel safe to learn to love and receive love again. They need a place that will help them become independent and contributory members of society. They need a place where they can learn human resource development. And not just to go from one shelter to another,” Kelly Daine Galloway, founder of Project Mona’s House.
Galloway says they are running out of space at Project Mona’s House and are looking for more help and volunteers to help. If you are interested, visit the Project Mona’s House website.
The Amplify range runs throughout the month. Visit Project Mona’s House social media pages for more information.
Project Mona’s House had Buffalo City Hall, Iskalo Development’s Electric Tower, Buffalo Niagara Convention Center, Peace Bridge, and Niagara Falls lit up blue in honor of Human Trafficking Day.
Project Mona’s House is the only human trafficking shelter in western New York. In 2021, Galloway and other representatives of Project Mona’s House walked the 902 miles of the Underground Railroad to raise awareness of human trafficking as modern day slavery.
