Sex Trafficking

Polaris released a new report that breaks down instances of sex and labor trafficking into 25 distinct categories, detailing the unique trafficker profile, recruitment tactics, victim profile, and method of control for each different subset of modern slavery.

Polaris hailed the 3rd season of the ABC series, "American Crime," for capturing the reality of modern slavery in the U.S. 

Fighting this form of trafficking and supporting survivors requires an approach that respects these victims’ unique cultural and linguistic backgrounds.

La lucha eficaz contra este tipo de trata y el apoyo a los sobrevivientes requiere un enfoque respetuoso con los antecedentes culturales y lingüísticos de estas víctimas.

This Houston-based case shows how difficult it can be for law enforcement to identify trafficking at cantinas and put traffickers out of business.

Consulting with groups who are on the front lines working with survivors is a critical step that will inform and mold our efforts to eradicate this crime.

Consultar con los proveedores de servicios que están en primera línea trabajando con los sobrevivientes es una manera consistente de informar y moldear futuras intervenciones en nuestro esfuerzo en erradicar este crimen. 

This is a major blow against an organization that many have called the “world’s top online brothel."

It’s crucial to build a network of community organizations that are equipped to respond to the complex trauma sex trafficking victims from Mexico have experienced.
