Understanding the Scale of Human Trafficking
Human trafficking is a devastating global crime, and understanding the data is the first step in fighting back. The statistics, particularly for **sex trafficking in California**, reveal a crisis that often remains hidden in plain sight, with children and teens being the most vulnerable targets of **child exploitation**.

The Human Cost of Exploitation
Behind every number is a human being enduring unimaginable hardship. Trapped in a life of misery, victims are robbed of their childhood, their health, and their future. Without the comprehensive support and guidance they desperately need, they are left vulnerable to re-victimization and are denied the opportunity to heal, learn, and build a new life.
