The need is urgent. One More Child’s Anti-Trafficking Program is supported through state, federal and private funding sources. The need for services for victims is greater than ever and we want to be sure that the hope and healing we offer is never interrupted. In the midst of providing critical services, we have been presented with an incredible matching gift opportunity that will extend your reach to trafficking survivors!
Did you know that in 2021 alone, the U.S. National Human Trafficking Hotline reported 16,554 individual victims of human trafficking?1 In the last six months of 2024, One More Child’s Anti-Trafficking team identified and served over 719 victims — nearly the same amount as the entire year before.
The number of survivors that we serve through our holistic Anti-Trafficking program is staggering and continues to grow as we expand our services. My heart breaks as I think of the one — the one more child, woman, or man still suffering and hopeless, wondering if anyone will help.
One More Child’s response is a resounding, “Yes, we see you and we are here to help.” We are committed to identifying and inviting trafficking victims into hope and healing. For Serene*, the moment her abuse was identified marked the beginning of her transformation.
During a trafficking sting operation, law enforcement arrested Serene and her trafficker. One
More Child’s Anti-Trafficking team was on the ground and able to support Serene. Initially,
Serene did not see her situation as one of exploitation — she had come to accept it as a normal part of her life. But with compassionate care and support, she began to see the truth.
Our team was with Serene every step of the way as she fought for justice. Because of our holistic approach, Serene not only found a path to safety, but also found hope and a sense of personal empowerment. Today, Serene has transformed into an advocate, using her story to help others who have been victimized by sex trafficking.
