NELSONVILLE The Foundation for Appalachian Ohio has announced a partnership with the new anti-human trafficking initiative, Eyes Up Appalachia.
Of the 32 counties in Appalachian Ohio, almost half are not represented by an anti-human trafficking coalition, including Gallia and Meigs Counties.
Eyes Up Appalachia was formed to fill this void. The individuals that are trafficked often have underlying vulnerabilities such as poverty, marginalization, lack of education or economic opportunity, mental health concerns or substance use disorders. Unfortunately, these vulnerabilities are found throughout Appalachian Ohio. Recruitment becomes easier when these exist as the trafficker uses them as leverage. Eyes Up Appalachia
