SEX TRAFFICKING HAPPENS TO BOYS TOO. There’s no way to know how prevalent #sexualexploitation of boys truly is, because we as a society have so far to go in making space for boys to understand and share that they’ve been victimized. #TraffickingHappensPA #ChildSexTrafficking

Sex trafficking is highly personal. Despite the explosion of concern – some of it fueled by misinformation – about complex child sex trafficking schemes and kidnappings, data shows victims usually know and trust their traffickers. #TraffickingHappensHere #TraffickingHappensPA

Often, a trafficker is someone who is known by the victim, possibly through an acquaintance or family member or a new online friend or love interest. Through these false relationships, traffickers identify the needs of their victims. #TraffickingHappensHere #TraffickingHappensPA

Sex trafficking is often confused with human smuggling which involves illegal border crossings. However, the crime of #sextrafficking does not require any movement whatsoever. Victims can be recruited & trafficked in their own neighborhoods & homes. #TraffickingSTOPSPA
