When we think of human trafficking, we often envision brothels and sex slaves in southeast Asia. What we don't always realize is that human trafficking is the fastest growing crime in the world, and a part of the problem is right under our noses.
New York has one of the highest trafficking rates in the country. Too often, victims cannot receive the basic medical care and housing they need to start their lives again if and when they escape their traffickers.
The goal of this game is to open the player's eyes to the issue of human trafficking happening in our city, and to motivate more people to donate and get involved in organizations working to combat human trafficking and give victims the care and opportunities they need.
Created for the 2015 Junior Advocacy Project.

It was disturbing and extremely informative. I live in the country, so walking around town at night poses far less of a problem, but my family still feels the effects of this with my mother having PTSD from you-know-what.
I still think that this is an issue that should be further covered in schools, perhaps in health class. Idiot teenagers who are frustrated with their parents for this or that are too quick to say 'I'm gonna run away!'. It should be better known what exactly happens when you do run away, and where all those missing girls on the missing poster in the grocery store exactly are. Who those depressing looking girls in the Mcdonald's parking lot are. Why 'you need to be raped' is not a freaking joke.
I only rated 5 stars for putting up that warning sign in the caption. Unlike some people, they forget to put up a warning sign and my brother ends up having his eyes burned out. Thanks for the warning!
I didn't see much in the game. I know that this is the kind of thing the we all should be aware, but just reading, without any interaction, just clicking in hyperlinks; nor any puzzle or moral dilema to decide is quite boring to play.
I'm sorry, but that's a 3-star worth game...
...
Wow.
Just ****ing wow.
I really can't say much without spoilers. I can say this: If it is physically possible for you to do so, play all 3 storylines. If you can only play one, I would play Madison's.
Amazing stories, guys. It's even more heart-wrenching that that's actually happening. Just wow.
this was extremely touching, tears were streaming down my face for a countless time period. the story of madison thompson, the 12 year old girl, broke my heart especially. it really gives a better understanding of how they trick and misinform people in order to have them placed into the prostitution system or lured into cruel/abusive working conditions. written in a way that is easy to understand, informative and emotional. great conveyance of situations in order to raise a point. very well done.
