About this listen
I sit down with Cheryl Csiky to discuss human trafficking and how she works with the organization In Our Backyard to fight against what is the second largest criminal enterprise in the world and continues to grow at an alarming rate.
Between 244,000 and 325,000 American youth are considered at risk for sexual exploitation, and an estimated 199,000 incidents of sexual exploitation of minors occur each year in the United States.
About 80 percent of all trafficked individuals are female, about 50 percent are children.
Each year an estimated $150 billion is generated by victims of human trafficking, $99 billion in sex trafficking and $51 billion in other forms of trafficking.
Nationally 450,000 children run away from home each year. 1 out of every 3 teens on the street will be lured toward sex trafficking within 48 hours of leaving home.Statistically, this means at least 150,000 children lured towards sex trafficking each year.
Average age of entry into sex trafficking is 12-14 for girls, and 11-13 for boys.
