In 2014, we received 5342 calls on our toll free nationwide sex trafficking hotline.
There were 4359 young women, 850 young men and 45 transgender
who called our hotline. Of those callers 29 were rescued directly from a pimp/trafficker, 694 received intervention in a crisis.
Our shelter home received 70 children (ages 11 -17) who have been sex trafficked right here in the United States.
