Did you know that Atlanta, Georgia is the highest ranking city for child sex trafficking in the United States? 200 - 300 children in Atlanta alone are exploited by sex traffickers, each month.
Atlanta magazine named the city Atlanta as "Sex City," the capital of sexual exploitation in the United States.
Atlanta is known as the number one hub of human trafficking and child sex exploitation in the United States.
Instead of traveling to Thailand to have sex with a child, men are traveling to Atlanta. They are picked up at Hartsfield Jackson International Airport by a pimp who takes them to have sex with a child sex slave. They are then dropped back at the airport and fly back home to have dinner with their family the same night.
Traffickers use the airport, the transit system, and the internet to exploit 200 - 300 children each month.
Some are taken from their homes or even exploited by family members. Many are runaways. 90% of whom are forced into prostituition, one third of those in the first 48 hours.
Many are lured through social websites, they are held against their will.
Some as young as 11 years old.
Human trafficking is a 32 billion dollar worldwide industry and is the second largest illegal trade, behind drugs.
There are actually four corners that police have named "hot spots:" Peachtree and Phar, Peachtree and North Avenue, Metropolitan Parkway, and Fulton Industrial and 285.
Did you know that 1 out of every four girls are sexually abused? And for boys, it's 1 out of six and most, by someone they know.
Only 10% report the abuse. There is someone right now waiting for rescue. Waiting to start a new life.
There's also someone else who's waiting: someone who's most likely a married, educated, working adult. Someone who's part of the 85% using the internet to enslave a child.
Together, we can stop child sex trafficking in Atlanta. We can prevent it, we can eliminate it. We can restore the lives of the broken and the hurting. We CAN make a difference. Together.
