National Slavery & Human Trafficking Prevention Month and National Stalking Awareness Month January 2020 Newsletter January is National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention month. Slavery continues to exist through power and control over a person’s mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health. Human trafficking can happen to anyone, at any time. Within our tribal communities, native women, transwomen, and girls are victimized by human trafficking at rates higher than that of the general population due to factors that include (but are not limited to) poverty or lack of access to work or services on or near reservations. Border towns, are the original man camps that trafficking happens in. Trafficking is often an invisible crime that keeps victims from coming forward to seek help because of language barriers, fear of the traffickers (family members/ stranger/boyfriends), shame and/or fear of law enforcement. In 2018, the Indian Urban Health Institute released a report of Albuquerque, NM having the second highest number of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Gallup, NM has one of the sixth bordertown of MMIW. For centuries, and to this day, we continue to see native people going missing or murdered through the development of extractive industries in our tribal communities. We see this happening more than ever in New Mexico to North Dakota, and internationally. As the crisis and urge continues, we must also recognize how our black and brown sisters in the United States are also missing at a very high rate. Additionally, January is National Stalking Awareness Month. Stalking often predicts and/or co-occurs with sexual and domestic violence. We recognize the long history of colonial violence and systematic oppression that lays the foundation for the disproportionate rates of violence against Native Women and children. No matter where you are, or where you come from, everyone has the inherent right to be and feel safe in their own home, community, and on their territory. Join the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women (CSVANW) this month as we take a stand and join the movement against trafficking and stalking in our tribal communities. Follow us as we support national efforts and share information through social media to bring awareness to the underground crime of human trafficking and the crime of stalking that affects our tribes, pueblos, and nations. Human trafficking is a conversation we all need to discuss in our communities. Join the conversation!
