What Is Child Sex Trafficking?

According to the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000, child sex trafficking is, "the act of recruiting, harboring, transporting, providing, obtaining, patronizing, soliciting a child for commercial sex, including prostitution and the production of child pornography".

What many people don't understand is the psychological and emotional abuse that takes place between a trafficker and his or her victims. The long-term effects of being trafficked are diverse and severe. It is critical that our communities understand the need for appropriate (specialized) services to help survivors restore their lives and that we take action by ensuring that our communities are equipped with the tools necessary to help them on their healing journey.
