Ἡ Έλπίς μου ὁ Πατήρ, καταφυγή μου ὁ Υἱός, Σκέπη μου τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον. Τριὰς Ἁγία, δόξα Σοι.
Δεῦτε ἀπὸ θέας Γυναῖκες εὐαγγελίστριαι, καὶ τῇ Σιὼν εἴπατε· Δέχου παρ΄ ἡμῶν Χαρᾶς Εὐαγγέλια, Τῆς Ἀναστάσεως Χριστοῦ. Τέρπου, χόρευε, καὶ ἀγάλλου Ἱερουσαλήμ, τὸν Βασιλέα Χριστόν, θεασαμένη ἐκ τοῦ μνήματος, ὡς Νυμφίον προερχόμενον.

How can I identify human trafficking?
According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS, 2022), there are many key indicators of human trafficking, and identifying victims and can help save a life. Some common indicators to help recognize human trafficking are the following:
Does the person appear disconnected from family, friends, community organizations, or houses of worship?
Has a child stopped attending school?
Has the person had a sudden or dramatic change in behavior?
Is a juvenile engaged in commercial sex acts?
Is the person disoriented or confused, or showing signs of mental or physical abuse?
Does the person have bruises in various stages of healing?
Is the person fearful, timid, or submissive?
Does the person show signs of having been denied food, water, sleep, or medical care?
Is the person often in the company of someone to whom he or she defers? Or someone who seems to be in control of the situation, e.g., where they go or who they talk to?
Does the person appear to be coached on what to say?
Is the person living in unsuitable conditions?
Does the person lack personal possessions and appear not to have a stable living situation?
Does the person have freedom of movement? Can the person freely leave where they live? Are there unreasonable security measures?
