San Jose Adult Entertainment: Soroptimists of Saratoga County target sexual trafficking
SARATOGA SPRINGS — The local branch of an international professional women’s service organization is involved in efforts to raise awareness to stop sexual trafficking of women and girls.
“Human trafficking occurs everywhere in the world, even in our own backyards,” said Jovanka Harrison, president of Soroptimist International of Saratoga County. “We want the public to become aware of its depth, and to be able to recognize a woman or girl — perhaps a neighbor — who may need help getting out of a dire situation.”
Sexual trafficking is the movement of people for the purposes of prostitution or other forms of commercial sexual exploitation. In addition to publicizing the existence of forced prostitution and other forms of commercial sexual exploitation in the U.S. and abroad, the Saratoga club is financially supporting Soroptimist’s efforts on an international level.
