ROCK SPRINGS — Members of Uprising’s Youth Empowerment Program (YEP) from Sheridan recently made a stop in Sweetwater County to deliver a special message to teenagers.
YEP has been providing people, especially the youth, with resources about sex trafficking.
Sex trafficking is any sexual act done in exchange for any item of value where a third party is profiting off the exchange. Labor trafficking, another front of human trafficking, involves the exploitation of labor where people are forced to work for little or no pay and often under poor conditions that violate law, according to Uprising’s website.
