As parents and guardians, we want to believe our children are safe in our digitally connected world. Yet the reality is both sobering and urgent: online exploitation of minors has increased dramatically, with predators becoming increasingly sophisticated in their targeting methods. At the Bianca Modo Foundation, we've witnessed firsthand how crucial early intervention can be in preventing exploitation.

When we discuss human trafficking in Georgia, we must move beyond abstract statistics to understand the real impact on our communities. As we mark Human Trafficking Awareness Month, it's crucial to understand that trafficking isn't just happening "somewhere else" - it's happening right here in our neighborhoods, schools, and cities.

Human trafficking is an atrocity that continues to be a problem worldwide. It is a form of slavery in which people are taken against their will and forced to work in unsafe and abusive conditions. It has become a lucrative business, with traffickers making millions of dollars yearly. Interactive media and arts can play a significant role in combating human trafficking. By raising awareness of the problem, we can help to stop it before it starts.

Trafficking is a global issue that requires a global solution. That's why the Bianca Modo Foundation has created the World Against Trafficking exhibit. The exhibit is a powerful tool that sheds light on human trafficking and the people who are affected by it. The exhibit will be launched in Atlanta, GA, in Underground Atlanta and is open to the public.
