Human Trafficking
March 18th, 2010
Chew on these stats – read them out loud if it will help them sink in.
- 100,000 girls, ages 9-19, are trafficked in commercial sexual exploitation in the U.S.
- 3,000 children are forced into commercial sexual exploitation at any given time, just in San Francisco.
- 1.2 million children are trafficked internationally each year
- As many as 4 million women and girls are bought and sold worldwide every year.

Thank you for sharing this. I’ve created a blog promoting Kristi’s blog and some other resources to help in the fight against human trafficking. Last year, my husband and I took a group of students to a youth conference called “Summer of Service” and one of the organizations presenting info there was a Christian group who rescues girls from the sex trade. Absolutely heart wrenching stories.

This is such a heartbreaking issue. It is reported that I live in the number one city in the United States for this. That is not a bragging right. We have many outreach ministries to rehabilitate girls, which is where the system fails. Such a difficult and REAL topic. Thank you for writing about it.
