Soroptimist Stop Human Trafficking 5k

🏃‍♀️ Race Overview

We are hosting our 3rd annual 5k run April 27th, 2025! This Run will be Chip Timed by Under the Sun Events. We are very excited to launch this run again this year. As last year, our efforts in part benefit a worldwide issue that we feel strongly about.

🌍 The Impact of Trafficking

• Vulnerable groups: Human trafficking can happen to anyone, but some people are more vulnerable than others, including recent migrants and individuals experiencing poverty.
• Manipulation: Traffickers may prey on these vulnerabilities to create a dependent relationship, making it more difficult for victims to leave.
• Escalation of abuse: Manipulation and coercion often escalate to physical, emotional, and financial abuse.
• UN's guidelines: Once immediate safety is established, acquiring skills and competencies for sustainable livelihoods is crucial for recovery.

👩‍🦰 Support for Victims

• Financial struggles: Women and girls who have been trafficked often suffer financially, being forced to rely on their trafficker.
• Stigma: Even after escaping, they face unfair societal stigma that can hinder their ability to find employment.
• Soroptimist support: Soroptimists have decades of experience providing education awards and financial support to help recover from trafficking.
• Community impact: Your support fosters a positive change in the lives of those affected by human trafficking.
