This information, too, came from the UMW Action Network and has been edited for space. I omitted one website that is very helpful, but the connection code is so very long that it is really too cumbersome to be useful since the hyperlink (Is that the correct term?!) doesn't apply here. This sheet is meant to accompany the information piece on Human Trafficking, and is designed to be printed in landscape format, three columns.
