News on Human Trafficking: Polaris Project & NCBTMB

I am happy to learn that the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (http://www.ncbtmb.org) has partnered with the Polaris Project (http://www.polarisproject.org) in an effort to stop human trafficking.  Apparently, there are many disreputable organizations disguising themselves as massage schools, which are, in effect, organizations of forced prostitution -- human trafficking.  By strengthening its School Compliance program, the NCBTMB is helping to crack down on those organizations trying to become recognized as legitimate schools.

This development makes me even prouder to be a member of NCBTMB.
