As Rotarian, you have the power to stop human trafficking through Rotary's Hotel-Motel Project. The Hotel-Motel project seeks to eliminate and prevent sex trafficking by educating those in the hospitality industry to recognize when it is happening and to train them on how to respond. In addition, this educational effort is designed to spur cultural change within the general community and among first responders. We have a training happening right here in Lincoln on February 23, 2019 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM at Westminster Presbyterian Church,2110 Sheridan Blvd, Lincoln, NE 68502. We need 30 volunteers. Sign up now, click/tap HERE. Questions, please contact Sharon Wherry at sharon.wherry@gmail.com or Dan Wherry at daniel.wherry@gmail.com.
The Hotel-Motel Project is relevant, timely and needed because: (1) There is a high incidence of sex trafficking in hotels-motels; (2) Personnel employed by hotels-motels see first hand what happens within their facility, and, if trained, are able to enhance intervention and prevention; and (3) There is a beginning national trend to criminally and civilly target facilitators of sex trafficking, with common themes including reckless disregard of sex trafficking within the facility, and failure to train facility personnel regarding sex trafficking.
