Untrafficked exists to end child human trafficking in America. They will be with us to share about their ministry, as well as provide a training that evening to equip parents, kids and anyone else interested in how to identify and report grooming behaviors online. Childcare will be provided for ages 12 and under.
Sex trafficking is a type of human trafficking and is a form of modern-day slavery. It is a serious public health problem that negatively affects the well-being of individuals, families, and communities. Human trafficking occurs when a trafficker exploits an individual with force, fraud, or coercion to make them perform commercial sex or work.
Sex trafficking is defined as “the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, obtaining, patronizing, or soliciting of a person for the purpose of a commercial sex act.”
- National Center for Child Exploitation
Sex trafficking involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to make an adult engage in commercial sex acts. However, any commercial sexual activity with a minor, even without force, fraud, or coercion, is considered trafficking. Understanding the shared risk and protective factors for violence can help us prevent trafficking from happening in the first place. The consequences of sex trafficking are similar to the consequences of sexual violence. Consequences can be immediate and long-term including physical and relationship problems, psychological concerns, and negative chronic health outcomes.
The Guardian Program will equip you on how to protect your children and combat the actions of these predators before they have a chance to traffic your children.
