One More Child is helping trafficking survivors begin a new life. We are also working to prevent more children and adults from becoming victims while predators financially profit.

Join the Fight

Even at this moment, there is an individual falling to the dark world of sex trafficking.

A predator is gaining their trust, maybe a “friend” they met online.
