THIS IS THE SEASON OF GROWTH
Human trafficking – the buying and selling of people – is the fastest growing criminal industry in the world. Every day in America, there are 150,000 new advertisements selling people for sex online.
Our law enforcement agencies do not have the resources to adequately combat this crime alone.

Project 1591® is the first-ever 24/7 crowdsourcing process and platform focused on utilizing skilled volunteers to identify child sex trafficking victims for law enforcement at scale. Rather than only working to grow Guardian Group’s internal capacity, we’re using our expertise to leverage the power of many to find the vulnerable.
In 2022 alone, we’ve identified over 90 victims and processed over 100 cases. With your support, a fully-equipped Project 1591 can help us identify up to 10% of all child online trafficking victims by 2027.
In partnership with law enforcement action, we believe this level of market disruption will begin to deter predators.
Here at Guardian Group, our vision that every child in the US can live free from sex trafficking can only be achieved with your support.
