International Women’s Day + Sex Trafficking

One hundred percent of victims represented in a 2021 Federally prosecuted sex trafficking case were female [1].

 

Sixty-six percent were girls under the age of 18-years-old. With the average age of these girls being 15 years old [1].

 

Sex trafficking affects all people and we do estimate that male and transgender population is underrepresented in the data based on the limited information available. However, we do know with some confidence that sex trafficking disproportionately affects the female population.

Today is International Women’s Day.  In honor of this we are asking you to join us in our mission to disrupt and prevent the sex trafficking of women and children. We are asking you to protect the women and children in your life and those in your community that do not have someone looking out for them. Together we are working to harness the power of many to find the vulnerable until all are free.
