Children are now the fastest-growing group of trafficking victims, not in far-away places, but right here in our communities.
Reports from federal agencies and child-protection organizations show the same trend: traffickers are going after younger kids because they believe younger victims are easier to groom, manipulate, and hide in plain sight.
At Magdalena’s Daughters, this is exactly why we invest in prevention.
RAISE: The Antidote to Human Trafficking equips youth with the knowledge, language, and confidence to recognize grooming long before it escalates.
Education is protection.
And when you support RAISE, you’re helping protect children before traffickers ever get the chance.
