The New Mexico Human Trafficking Experience
April 25th
4 PM & 6 PM (Timed Entry)
Thousands of young people are currently living as trafficked individuals in New Mexico. Most remain hidden in plain sight. At the New Mexico Dream Center, we believe every one of them deserves the chance to find freedom, healing, and a future filled with dignity.
The New Mexico Human Trafficking Experience is an immersive, educational event designed to help our community better understand how trafficking happens and how lives can be restored.
During this experience, you will step into the fictional story of a young trafficking victim whose journey is based on real-life experiences. As the story unfolds, you will be asked to make decisions along the way, giving you a glimpse into the difficult realities many victims face.
The experience takes place inside a transformed historic Albuquerque bank, carefully designed with props and scenes that help tell the story in a powerful and personal way. Along the journey, you will see how compassionate intervention and specialized services can open the door to healing, stability, and restored dignity.
This event is not only about learning the realities of trafficking in New Mexico. It is also about discovering how an informed and compassionate community can help bring hope and freedom.
Due to the sensitive nature of this topic, this experience is recommended for ages 16 and older.
