At the closing of the 12th Annual Awareness Campaign of SFCAHT, we honored the winners of the 2021 Teen Poster and Writing Contest and learned about youth achievements in human trafficking prevention. Youth from across the Bay Area gathered to perform and share experiences in anti-trafficking advocacy.  Attendees learned how to join the movement locally and help create awareness of human trafficking in their own schools and communities. 

​We were deeply moved by the inspiring keynote speech of Emmy-Award Winning TV Host and Activist, Jeannie Mai.
