I like the cartoon picture! It lessens the serious note of the case.

Thank You for providing these resources.
We are preparing a solutions post & I will like to utilize this information you have shared.
In Trucking, harassment &/or conduct guidance is nearly non-existent but considered a service oriented job.
The issues of the overall decline in society of conduct fuels the already present structure than has refused to adjust as recruitment of diversity has grown.
Our goal is to address this oversight given the living situations students are required to be subjected to in trucking.
This is a highway safety matter as well as a personal safety matter.
Thank you for the information.

PRESS RELEASE

For Immediate Release

Educational Webinars Cover Human Trafficking for Trucking and Travel Plaza Industry Members

Human trafficking is a $32-billion-a-year business, destroying countless lives and enslaving its victims, the majority of whom are women and children. Most Americans are aware of the problem in Asia and Africa, but are oblivious to that fact that it is big business here in the United States.

To a great extent, domestic sex trafficking is occurring along our nation’s highways and at its truck stops. Human traffickers target truckers, because of their transient nature, at truck stops, rest areas and restaurants as consumers of the children and women they sell. Pimps have also been known to recruit truck drivers to transport girls over state lines, removing some of the risk from their shoulders and placing it on those of the trucker and his/her company.

While the average age for a young girl to enter the sex-for-sale industry in the United States is 12, many of them are forced to lie about their age, pretend they enjoy what they do and present a much older image of themselves. National statistics puts the annual number of American children and teens trafficked at approximately 300,000. That doesn’t count the additional 17,000 internationals trafficked into our country each year for forced sex and labor.

But, because members of the trucking and travel plaza industry represent the eyes and ears of America on those highways, they can play a critical part in fighting this crime and those who perpetrate it. They simply need to know what to look for, what questions to ask and what steps to take.

Transport For Christ (www.transportforchrist.com) is partnering with a Chapter 61 Ministries (www.chapter61.com) initiative, Truckers Against Trafficking (www.truckersagainsttrafficking.com), to help educate the trucking and travel plaza industries, as well as the general public, about the truth surrounding human trafficking in America and steps they can take to fight it.

Transport For Christ will host informational webinars presented by Chapter 61 Ministries on April 14, 21 and 28 at 9 p.m. EDT.

If you would like to attend one of these webinars, please send your name and the exact email address for us to mail the invitation (this will be the address you use for the webinar). For more information, please contact Scott Weidner, president and CEO of Transport for Christ at (717) 426-9977.

Sexual harassment at work place, schools, collages, parties, travel, roads etc. is a very common news which we hear the most. Most of the peoples are not aware about sexual harassment and its very important to make them aware, this will help us to decrease occurring sexual harassment. By the help of PriaCash website we can came to know a lots of things base on sexual harassment. It’s my personal experience that this website help girls a lot and we can share our views and quarries with others in its forum.

Marge Bailey, you are one of the most double talking pieces of work I have ever seen. Not the only “executive” at W.I.T. now that’s funny right there. You come off to be a “mega” corporation whose real mission is to only promote yourselves and leave women truckers out in the cold when it come to “real” issues you “Executives” want to avoid. Talk about a turncoat organization who refuses to believe these women when they tell you they need some support, you and Ellen turn your backs on them and tell them they “brought it on themselves”.
W.I.T. should be Why are you In Trucking? I really don’t understand the purpose of your organization if not to help all women in trucking. Is it just to help the poor secretary or junior executive in an office situation? Yes, that is much easier to moderate huh? Just leave all of those women who choose to be “drivers” to fend for themselves and don’t dare get on “their” side. People might get the impression that you might actually “care” about women in trucking.
Get a life and get a damn clue. As far as I am concerned you and your organization are about as useless as (edited by Admin)
