    Stop Trafficking Louisiana


    Thank you for your support on one of my official state initiatives, Human Trafficking Awareness and Prevention. My work on this initiative has grown to a national scale. First Spouses from all fifty states and territories are invited to join me in hosting the first National Human Trafficking Awareness Campaign with the intent of eliminating the scourge of human sex trafficking in our states. Working in this area has allowed me to collaborate with many outstanding individuals across our country who are working to combat this scourge against humanity. 

     

    I have hosted several national virtual summits to encourage First Spouses across the nation to engage in this challenging work. As a result of these summits, the National Coalition for the Prevention of Human Sex Trafficking was formed to create awareness on a unified, national scale. Since large-scale, national sporting events are a draw for traffickers, the kick-off for the awareness campaign will be held in conjunction with the NCAA Final Four Collegiate Basketball Championship.

     

    It is more important than ever we recognize the scourge Human Sex Trafficking is to humanity. Victims of this heinous crime are experiencing worse conditions every year. Many of them are children. We must focus on ways to eradicate this awful crime and assist the victims with recovery. Louisiana has been a leader and innovator on this issue, and we are excited to lead a collaboration on a national level. 

     

    My most profound belief is that the strides we have made, and the plans we set in motion to conquer this scourge in the future, will have a lasting positive impact on people in our state and across the U.S. 

     

    Regards, 

     

    Donna Edwards 

    First Lady of Louisiana
