Sex Trafficking in Los Angeles

Domestic sex trafficking is a poorly understood and devastating public health concern. A qualitative change in the public awareness around this issue is essential - one that speaks to its underlying causes and the prevalent misconceptions about women who fall victim to sexual exploitation, coercion and violence. Sex trafficking flourishes due to high demand and lack of accountability for the buyers and pimps who perpetuate this grave injustice — one that we have a humanitarian obligation to end.
