With any social cause that experiences significant growth, challenges can arise that adversely affect those impacted the most if left unaddressed. It should be unacceptable to all of us to witness survivors lacking the proper resources to empower them during their healing journey. As we discuss hard issues, we should be willing to respect the difference of opinions and embrace diversity and unity instead of fueling division. Social media serves as a more vocal platform where Facebook posts or Twitter Tweets discuss some of the growing challenges within the anti-trafficking movement. Many are already using their voices to identify these challenges as they share their discontent for the problems that are preventing significant breakthrough to providing direct victim services to those who are no longer enslaved by this modern day form of slavery. 

Each challenge will continue to have a negative impact on anti-trafficking efforts unless we commit to set aside differences and stand united to be a light for those trapped in darkness. To do that, we believe there are several major issues that need to be addressed. There are many more challenges facing the movement but we believe this is a start.
