BEREA, Ohio (AP) Cleveland Browns coach Hue Jackson is tackling a disturbing problem that’s not always visible.
Jackson and his wife, Michelle, have launched a foundation to support organizations that combat human trafficking and aid its victims, women who are exploited, abused and scarred for life.
”We’re all in,” Jackson said during a kickoff event at the team’s headquarters. ”We want to make a difference in this area.”
On Thursday, The Hue Jackson Foundation announced a partnership with the Salvation Army of Greater Cleveland to provide secure housing for women who have been victimized by human trafficking – modern-day slavery that involves the use of force, fraud or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act.
