"Anti-trafficking organizations are getting the key message out – but how can the traffic be stopped?
"I think that the biggest barrier that must be overcome is people who characterize victims of trafficking as being prostitutes who willingly get into these situations,� says Labovitz, who points out that most victims are neither na�ve (most are educated) nor extremely young (their average age is 26). �And somehow, even with heightened awareness, that's what people still think. I think we are making some progress, but it's still a perception and at times even talking to counterparts in the government, they raise this.�"
