A Growing Problem ...

Child prostitution and slavery is a growing problem worldwide. About 27 million people are bought, sold, held captive, brutalized and exploited for profit.

Trafficking is a direct assault on the basic human rights and lives of men, women and children. It involves the movement of people against their will by means of force, deceit, or coercion for the purpose of sexual or labor exploitation.

Statistics are overwhelming ...

    According to recent U.S. government estimates, 18,000-50,000 persons are trafficked into the United States each year for purposes of sexual exploitation or forced labor. Victims of human trafficking are located in both rural and urban areas of the United States.
    • Over 100,000 children are believed to be involved in commercial sexual exploitation.
    • At least 350,000 juveniles are involved in prostitution.
    • More than 200,000 children are engaged as sex workers.
