The latest report of Sex Trafficking here in America was just released through Shared Hope in Washington D.C. 10 cities in America were assessed in this report including Dallas to our South and Kansas City to our North.

The key finding of this report on domestic trafficking in America is"Misidentification of Victims". Misidentification causes a chain reaction of negative outcomes that re-traumatize or even criminalize the victim while the trafficker walks free.

This occurs at all levels: First Responders / Law Enforcement / Homeless & Runaway Shelters / Court Adjudication / Social Services / Medical Clinics

Misidentification can be remedied only through awareness and education. See full report at our recent articles section below on right side.

At truck stops all across the nation young girls, as young as 11 and 12 are working what is known as the "Party Row"... the back row of a truck stop. The two busiest hyways in the country, I-35 and I-40, cross at Oklahoma City, bringing with them lots of truckers and lots of young girls being prostituted to men 3 and 4 times their age. Police patrol the lots several nights a week, sometimes sitting in front of party row to discourage illegal activity. However, the only way for an arrest to be made or a girl rescued is if the officer actually sees the sex act or money changing hands.

Many ask why a girl would keep doing that... why wouldn't she just get away from her trafficker? But it is not that easy... threats and phychological conditioning by her pimp keep her under his control. See article for more information and read stories of girls from Oklahoma caught up in this abusive lifestyle.
