OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) - The Women's Fund of Omaha will be raising awareness for sex trafficking over the course of the College World Series. 

Partnering with the Coalition of Human Trafficking, silhouettes of individuals with local sex trafficking statistics will be placed around the Omaha metro. Some of the spots included are Eppley Airfield, Westroads Mall and local hotels. 

"Sex trafficking is happening every day, in every zip code. With increased community awareness, anyone can recognize the signs of someone being trafficked," Public Relations Manager Jill Heggen said in an email. "We must show traffickers that Omaha will not tolerate this activity."
