Program Spotlight:
Preventing domestic minor sex trafficking in the United States
In the U.S., prostituting a minor is a form of human trafficking. It is estimated that roughly 200,000 American children are at serious risk of commercial sexual exploitation.
The Tell Your Friends Program educates teens – in public high schools, foster care and group homes, and at youth agencies – who are at high risk for coercion into prostitution and sexual slavery. FAIR Fund educates teens about sexual violence and human trafficking, offers them service referrals, and seeks to give them confidence to avoid exploitation. The program also trains community service agencies, teachers, police officers, and local officials in how to better identify and assist teens in need.
Read FAIR Fund's November 2009 report: "Teen Pathways Into and out of Commercial Sexual Exploitation. This report, funded by the Department of Justice and co-investigated with the University of Massachusetts Lowell examines the pathways runaway and homeless teens in the United States take to enter into and exit situations of commercial sexual exploitation, a form of human trafficking. The report is based on the real life narratives of approximately 70 teens aged 14 to 19 in Washington, D.C. and Boston, MA.
Read coverage of FAIR Fund’s prevention model in the Washington Post and on NPR.
