Human Trafficking and Domestic Violence

As an advocate for the health and well-being of our community, Kalón By Kiesha is committed to raising awareness about the critical issue of human trafficking and domestic violence within the beauty industry. We believe that everyone deserves to feel safe and empowered, and we stand against any form of exploitation or abuse.

Human trafficking and domestic violence can unfortunately occur in any industry, including the beauty sector. Victims may be coerced or forced into labor, often under the guise of employment opportunities or relationships. As a responsible member of the beauty community, we are dedicated to taking proactive steps to prevent and address these issues.

Our practice is committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for our clients, employees, and community members. We have implemented policies and procedures to ensure that our facilities are free from any form of exploitation or abuse. Our staff members are trained to recognize the signs of human trafficking and domestic violence, and we have established protocols for responding appropriately and connecting individuals with the resources they need.

In addition to our internal efforts, we are actively engaged in supporting organizations and initiatives that combat human trafficking and domestic violence. We partner with local agencies and advocacy groups to raise awareness, provide education, and offer support to survivors. We also participate in community events and fundraisers to raise funds and awareness for these important causes.

For those in need of assistance or support, we have compiled a list of resources available in the Akron, Ohio area, Summit County, Ohio, the State of Ohio, and nationally. These resources include hotlines, shelters, counseling services, legal assistance, and more. We encourage anyone who is experiencing or has experienced human trafficking or domestic violence to reach out for help. You are not alone, and there are people and organizations ready to support you.

Together, we can work towards a world where everyone feels safe, valued, and empowered. At Kalón By Kiesha, we are proud to stand up against human trafficking and domestic violence, and we are committed to being part of the solution. Let's unite to create a future free from exploitation and abuse.
