What is Sex Trafficking?

Many wonder what sex trafficking is and how it happens. Sex trafficking is the crime of using force, fraud or coercion to induce another individual to sell sex.

Common forms of sex trafficking include escort services, pornography, illicit massage businesses, brothels, and outdoor solicitation.

Trafficking can happen to anyone, no matter race, age or gender. It can take place in the suburbs, rural towns, off-the-grid and bustling cities.

Challenge yourself to look deeper into your daily encounters! Discover what lies beneath the surface within your community. Feel empowered to use your voice to impact change for yourself and others.

Let’s build awareness and increase prevention to end trafficking of humans! Humans are not a commodity to be bought and sold, we must put a stop on this business.
