Genevieve Meyer, a Coalition Coordinator for the Indiana Trafficking Victims Assistance Program (ITVAP), expressed her frustration with the lack of action taken by those around her when it came to addressing the issue at hand. “Everyone was aware of what was happening, but instead of taking action, they either blamed me or simply ignored the problem,” she shared.
“When I was 11 years old, I found myself in a relationship with a 37-year-old man. At that time, I didn’t fully comprehend the gravity of the situation,” she recalled.
Many people have gone through similar terrifying experiences.
Jeremy Greenlee, an additional Coalition Coordinator with ITVAP, challenges the common misconception that trafficking exclusively affects teenage girls. In reality, individuals of all ages and backgrounds can fall victim to this heinous crime. It is crucial to understand that trafficking does not discriminate based on gender.
According to Greenlee, it is crucial to recognize that trafficking occurs in various locations, including urban, rural, and suburban settings. She emphasizes that trafficking can happen anywhere, highlighting the widespread nature of this issue.
Genevieve Meyer is currently employed at the ITVAP, where she plays a crucial role in shaping policy changes.
Meyer offered a motivational message, reminding his audience that they should be grateful for waking up and still being alive. He emphasized their ability to overcome all the challenges they have faced so far, encouraging them to continue doing so in the future.
