UNTRAFFICKED
Most Americans are unaware that children are being groomed by traffickers every day. In addition, the domestic anti-sex trafficking sector is fragmented and in need of leadership, organization, strategic input and cohesive program management.
Most organizations do not have the means and tools needed to effectively serve victims of sex trafficking. New and innovative ways are required to combat demand for purchased sex, raise awareness to this nationwide epidemic, and provide safe environments for victims.
Untrafficked™ was established to mobilize and equip America to stop child sex-trafficking, help survivors heal and give them hope for a brighter future.
We developed a platform to equip our members and collaborate with well vetted anti sex-trafficking organizations in order to bring support and operational structure to compassionately and effectively serve victims.
It will take collaboration to win this war.
