North Carolina has the 9th highest prevalence of human trafficking of all 50 states and South Carolina is 22nd. We'll talk about why our states are hotspots, what human trafficking looks like in our areas, and how we can work together to ensure that our events and venues are human trafficking-free.
Join the anti-human trafficking movement in NC.Pam Strickland is the founder of North Carolina Stop Human Trafficking.
Upon learning that Human Trafficking is a problem here in NC, she felt called to be active locally in educating our community about this issue and working towards preventing Human Trafficking. The nonprofit was incorporated in 2010.
Pam has attended numerous conferences and received in-depth Human Trafficking Training from a variety of entities including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Freedom Network Training Institute, the Not for Sale Campaign, the FBI, the SBI, and GEMS.
NC Stop Human Trafficking is a member of the NC Coalition Against Human Trafficking, and Pam served as the Co-Chair, until she rotated off the Board in December 2018.
In 2016, Pam led the effort to start the Pitt County Coalition Against Human Trafficking, modeled after the state-wide group.
In 2020, Pam, along with 3 other nonprofit leaders, formed the NC Demand Reduction Task Force.
Pam trains professional groups in how to recognize human trafficking and respond to it. Groups trained in recent months include law enforcement, social workers, teachers, counselors, therapists, healthcare providers and Crisis Intervention Teams.
